nissanguy38501 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Okay guys... Here's a topic I haven't seen before, so I'm gonna ask the question. Our bumper cover is destroyed, so I have to buy a new one. What penalties (if any) are there if I replace the cover with a more aerodynamic one that has, say, a lip, but not a splitter. Also, just for grins, let's say, just for argument's sake, that the "splitter" is part of a new bumper cover and is completely integeral... how do you separate the two items... or do you? Enquiring minds wanna know... Here's some pics of what I'm asking about...

JDChristianson Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'd say 10 points just like anyone else that adds a splitter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintodave Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 That sounds legit... I mean, beyond some other crazy item, the most common item that someone would usually add would be a splitter right? So if you found a new bumper cover that integrated that same item that cost 10 pts, I can't imagine anyone trying to argue it should be more than a 10 pt hit... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRVOLKS Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Would save a lot of time and a add a bunch of nice airro for 10pt . Bob Mann www.DRVOLKS.com bobtec@comcast.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr650 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 First I would get a ruling from tech, people on the forum try really hard to figure out new ways to cost themselves points. Second if it will really be charged the same as a proper functional splitter I would go ahead and build the splitter and get an actual benefit.

Hi_Im_Will Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Free bumper cover/air dam with purchase of splitter. Without splitter... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when we do Daytona we might use a cover from a 91 as it is more aerodynamic. I'd guess the other 2 would be at least 10 points. I'd e-mail and ask...or just show up and see.

TiredBirds Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 FWIW you'd think this was destroyed... but it looks like this now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
