Default ARP carbon fiber splitter

Does anyone know if one of these would work on the IS? Got pictures?

Work...yes; bolt-on, no. You'll have to fab up something to attach it to the lower bumper area.

Here's an email I just got from ARP. Does another company make one like this?

Hello Conor,

I have had requests for this splitter but I have not gotten a template to
produce the splitter.

Best regards,

I've not seen one specific to the 2IS; but prefer there are some pre-made for the IS-F.

You're best bet is to size-up a universal splitter and make it work for your application.

I emailed them back if they want a template. I'll send them a template for the 2010 front and ISF conversion.

Just buy the universal carbon ones they sell for the F for $150. I've seen meets with those. One guy even had the metal posts attached to it.

Does that do all the way across Mariano?

If so I'd be interested ...

But I think the ones you are talking about are just on the corners...

Maybe ill try these but I wanted something that covered the front because I rubbed my front the other day going up a hill. Luckily the scrapes aren't noticeable.

A real splitter spans across the entire front of the car; the ones on the sides are just canards.
