Is the Front Splitter Kit for FK8 made from carbon fiber?

No. Verus Engineering makes the Front Splitter Kit for FK8 from a hard, durable and lightweight plastic, chosen because it will not fold and pull under the car the way an aluminum blade can. Its outline follows the factory bumper lines of the 2017 to 2021 Civic Type R, and stainless hardware secures every mounting point.

How is the FK8 splitter tied to the car?

Two splitter tie assemblies run from the blade to hard points on the chassis, and several bumper mounting locations add further support, so the load passes into the structure of the car. Clevises, extensions, a support bracket and stainless hardware all come in the kit, and Verus Engineering publishes an install manual and an install video.

Can I daily drive my Type R with the Verus splitter fitted?

Yes. Verus Engineering built its Ventus 2 package for the Type R, which includes this splitter, so the car can still be driven to and from the track. Any splitter lowers front clearance, so steep driveways and parking blocks call for care, but the plastic blade resists the bending that afflicts aluminum splitters.

Can the FK8 splitter run without a rear wing?

Yes. Verus Engineering pairs the splitter with its FK8 rear diffuser in the Ventus 2 package, with no wing required. It does its best work on a Type R that already carries extra rear aero, such as a larger rear wing or a large diffuser, because it adds the front load that keeps the car balanced at speed.

Why add a front splitter to an FK8?

A splitter makes downforce by building a large pressure difference between its upper and lower surfaces. On the FK8, Verus Engineering designed the kit to counter front-end lift, adding tire grip and traction at speed and helping lower lap times. CFD testing and in-house scan data of the car guided the shape and its fit to the bumper.

Description

Verus Engineering Front Splitter Kit for FK8 Honda Civic Type R

Verus Engineering’s Front Splitter Kit for FK8 Honda Civic Type R targets the front-end lift of the 2017 to 2021 Type R, adding downforce that turns into tire grip and traction at high speed. The blade is a hard, durable and lightweight plastic, picked because it will not fold back under the car the way an aluminum splitter can. Verus shaped it to follow the factory bumper lines using its own scan data of the car, and sized it in CFD to balance the Verus rear wing.

Mounting and Package

The kit forms the front of the Verus Ventus 2 package for the Type R, which adds considerably more downforce than Ventus 1 for a slight rise in drag. Verus built Ventus 2 so the car can still be driven to and from the track.

Builds a large pressure difference between its upper and lower faces to cut front lift
Plastic blade that resists being dragged under the car
Chassis-mounted support rods tie the blade to the structure

About Verus Engineering

Verus Engineering designs aerodynamic and performance parts in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two engineers founded it in late 2014 as Velox Motorsports and renamed it in 2017 after a trademark dispute; verus is Latin for true or complete. Each design starts from a 3D scan of the car, is developed with CFD and finite element analysis and is validated on track, across more than 20 platforms from the GR86 to the C8 Corvette.

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.
