What comes in the Front Splitter Kit for 981?

The Front Splitter Kit for 981 Porsche Cayman GT4 contains the carbon composite splitter, a pre-preg carbon front air dam, two carbon spill plates, two carbon splitter diffusers, ten sheet aluminum brackets and the bolts, nuts and washers to fit them. The package is large enough that Verus Engineering sends it by pallet freight.

Can the GT4 still be driven on the street with this splitter?

Yes. Verus Engineering made street use one of the goals of its 981 GT4 Ventus 2 package and kept the forward stick-out of the splitter reasonable. The carbon thermoplastic tolerates scrapes without cracking, but any splitter reduces front clearance, so steep driveways and parking blocks still call for a careful approach.

Is a rear wing required alongside the 981 GT4 splitter?

Yes, to keep the car balanced. The splitter produces enough front downforce to offset a large rear wing, and Verus Engineering sized it with its dive planes against a rear wing and diffuser in the Ventus 2 package. On a GT4 with the factory wing, that extra front load would move the balance forward and lighten the rear in fast corners.

How much load can the 981 GT4 splitter support?

The Verus Engineering rating for the splitter is more than 300 lb, enough to counter the downforce of a big rear wing on track. Ten CNC cut and bent aluminum brackets locate the assembly, and aircraft nut plates in the pre-preg carbon air dam take its fasteners.

Why does the kit include splitter diffusers and spill plates?

Verus Engineering designed the splitter, air dam and splitter diffusers as one combination and shaped the bottom of the blade to improve flow through the two diffusers, with carbon spill plates at the ends of the splitter. Verus says iterative work in its analysis software is how it extracted more performance from the combination.

Description

Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit for 981 Porsche Cayman GT4

Verus Engineering’s Front Splitter Kit for 981 Porsche Cayman GT4 is a complete front aero assembly: a carbon thermoplastic splitter, a pre-preg carbon air dam cured in an autoclave, two carbon spill plates and a pair of carbon splitter diffusers. Verus tuned the underside of the splitter to feed those diffusers, and rates the assembly to handle more than 300 lb. It was built to offset a large rear wing in the Verus Ventus 2 package, and that is where it belongs; on a GT4 that keeps its factory wing, this much front load is surplus to requirements.

Construction

Carbon thermoplastic is stiff and abrasion resistant without being brittle, so a scrape does not crack it as it would carbon fiber or ABS, and it will not grab the road and fold back like aluminum.

Features

Carbon thermoplastic splitter, a material Verus says IndyCar, NASCAR and F1 also use
Pre-preg carbon air dam, autoclave cured for low weight and strength
Underside shaped to feed the two carbon splitter diffusers
Carbon spill plates at each end of the blade

What’s Included

Carbon composite splitter
Pre-preg carbon front air dam
Carbon spill plates (x2)
Carbon splitter diffusers (x2)
Sheet aluminum brackets (x10)
Bolts, nuts and washers for the full install

Applications

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
