You guys that have cracked the upper carbon, was it from hitting a curb? Or seriously bottoming out the lower splitter section? Would really suck to crack the carbon upper from repeated scraping exiting parking decks.
Bolder must be very flat

I consider splitters a consumable part. I run Maxx attack.

100 percent agree. I think it's a consumable on the GTS. The car looks too mean with the splitter fully extended to have it tucked away.

Most of the parking lots don't have too serious of a ramp to get in/out of. I get groceries in the GTS, and that has a very shallow gutter. Work deck is really the only issue I've run into. The majority of my mileage has been in canyons, and for those it's gas station -> canyon -> pull over at the top -> home for most of those trips, and nothing to scrape on through that.

Did have to buy some stupidly long ramps to load this car into the trailer though. Alignment next week, track on the next available Friday lapping day

I smile and shed a tear of joy every time somebody with a capable car or bike mentions the track.

Take it off. No one will care. Those in the know will know.
Smash the splitter and the upper carbon fiber will take the load until IT BREAKS!!!!
Not cheap.

A new spoiler painted is over $2000 and since is made of super light foam it will not stand up to any adverse treatment. I made a copy of a lip spoiler from Alumalite (www.8020.net https://8020.net/65-2636.html or get it from a sign shop). After cutting it out with a saber saw I belt sanded the front smooth. The next set is to fill the holes in the front edge with paintable caulk. Finally The dealer painted the lip spoiler Acid Orange C2T. Looks like the original and super resilient.

Mine is pretty beat up. Wondering if I should replace with the fall line one or just keep going on stock. Does it hold up well?

The fall line is really robust. Mine is definitely beat up but not in danger of falling off. The only draw back
is the fall line is quite a bit thicker than stock so ground clearance is worse than stock. I clear most speed bumps though. I have the same route every day so it's not too big of a deal. Just don't hit anything straight on and you'll be ok.

I only pull my splitter out for when it goes to the track, but that is a lot. No need for street use. No one is going to speeds on the street for it to make sense.
