i was testing out how these splitters worked at high speed...
they apparently can't handle over 150+mph
here's what was left of it after:

What material was it? By the picture it doesn't look like carbon fiber, maybe it was cracked already from the drilling/installation.

it's ABS plastic...pretty cheap stuff...
and it wasn't cracked. it's just the way it mounts...at higher speeds, the front of it will start flexing and sooner or later it'll start flapping...depends on how you mount it i guess...

CF versions seems to be more thicker than what your picture shows..
but it shouldnt snap like that...
