About a quarter of the way down the page, first splitter you see. I like it, always wanted to block some of the air into the front wheel wells - I think I remember seeing one of the race teams out on the west coast do something like this on a red Elise or Exige?

I don't read Japanese so I used the handy Google translate page, and the name for this reads:

S2 FURONTORIPPUSUPOIRA for EKISHIJI

the katakana reads FURONTORIPPUSUPOIRA meaning:

f(u)ront(o) ripp(u) s(u)poira...front lip spoiler!!!! HA! I am American-Korean so I can make fun of us orientals, that is some awesome Engrish right there.

Anyways, again does anyone have more pics of this splitter? Jacob can you import this somewhat economically?

oh...and stupid me:

EKISHIJI is EXIGE lol

I got a shipping quote of $1200!

Isn't Kobayashi the lawyer for Keyser Soze? I would imagine it doesn't get any more expensive than that...

I suspect that is usual.

I'll check about the shipping. But Peter make sure that this will fit the Fed Elise front clam. I don't know if this will or won't, but there are some pieces that are not interchangable.

I love that! But it wouldn't fit over the "license plate protrusion thingy"...

I don't think it will, that's why I ended my first post with:

"oh...and stupid me:

That's a shame. It's the best looking piece I've seen. kaz, what are you using currently for a splitter if anything?

You could always throw on an EXSHI-JI clam.

I'm using the ForcedFed splitter and very similar to the one on Manly's car - it's all sourced from APR

For some reason whenever I was reading the katakana I pictured Taku's head floating in front of me talking HAHA. Hey if you are going to be in SoCal next week I think Chris is going to set something up for Taku's belated bday for korean BBQ with bunch of Playstation and GT peeps...

I think kobayashi is the guy who dominates the nathans hotdog eating contests.
$1200 for shipping, think of how many nathans hotdogs you could buy for the shipping amount alone.
