Will the Dive Plane Kit for S550 fit a standard Mustang GT bumper?

No. Verus Engineering states the Dive Plane Kit for S550 fits only the OEM GT350 bumper, and lists it for GT350 and GT350R owners. The planes are shaped from scan data of that bumper and bond to it with 3M VHB tape, so a Mustang GT bumper or an aftermarket cover will not give the correct fit.

Do I need a front splitter to run dive planes on my GT350?

No. Verus Engineering designed the kit to add front downforce without moving the splitter further forward or lower, and it works on the factory setup for owners who want more front grip. It also offsets the rear load of a big wing or diffuser in the Verus Ventus packages.

How are the Verus GT350 dive planes installed?

Each plane sticks to the factory GT350 bumper on its own piece of 3M VHB double-sided tape, so the bumper is never drilled. Verus Engineering supplies a paper template to mark the positions, and its install manual and video walk through the process on the Shelby.

Do canards slow the car down on the straights?

Yes, by a small margin. Verus Engineering reports minimal added drag in its CFD data, because the planes make part of their downforce by increasing evacuation from the front wheel wells and sealing the sides of the car. In return they shift the aero balance forward and raise front grip.

What are the dive planes made from?

They are carbon fiber, 1.5mm thick, made from 2x2 twill pre-preg that Verus Engineering cures in an autoclave and coats in gloss clear. OpenFOAM analysis and scan data of the GT350 bumper set their shapes, with the aim of generating vortices that draw air from the wheel wells.

Description

Verus Engineering Dual Element Dive Plane Kit for S550 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Verus Engineering’s Dual Element Dive Plane Kit for S550 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 adds front downforce without pushing the splitter further forward or lower, which makes it the front aero choice for a GT350 or GT350R that still sees public roads between track days. Two carbon elements per side shift the aero balance forward and pull air out of the front wheel wells, and Verus found only a small drag penalty in its CFD data. The kit fits the factory GT350 bumper only, so a car wearing an aftermarket bumper cover is not a candidate.

Design and Construction

Verus developed the planes in OpenFOAM, targeting vortices that improve evacuation from the front fender wells and help seal the sides of the car, so the gain at the nose does not cost performance elsewhere. The shapes come from scan data of the GT350 bumper.

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.
