By front undertray I mean the plastic/rubber portion that comes before the aluminum belly pan. I'll try to get it up on jack stands and snap some better pics of the underside along with the sides.
Would it be possible to retain the undertray and cut holes for the brackets to pass through?

Im not sure yet. Haven’t had a chance to get under the car and take the splitter off to investigate what is possible. It’s definitely tucked up very neatly under the bumper.

Get the Varis front lip if you are not going to track, and just need it for looks.

Has anyone noticed a difference with rotation having more front downforce running the stock wing? I had an APR gurney flap on my 19 and i didn't think to take a heat gun to it to remove it before the car went to salvage. I was exhausted from working all day getting my parts off and I had a 2020 to go pick up.

Racebred Components just wrapped up the first set of quick release brackets, and will be available for purchase very very soon! They already offer a CTR specific splitter. The fitment is PERFECT and theres no gap at all.

My second choice would be Verus Engineering, stylish and functional, as @LURK-R says. Excellent quality product and great customer service. I'm running their P10 carbon rear wing.
Are they done yet?

Bump for any news
All things are leading toward end of this month. I've already received the splitter blade, but the brackets are still not live on the website.

I think I am just going to get my buddy to make me a custom one. Can't seem to find anything in stock or worth the money.

Thanks. Now to decide if I should buy the Verus or wait...

The finish on the the Racebred splitter is nice, but you may or may not like the texture up against the faux carbon lip (contrasting finishes). I prefer the quick release brackets because I can easily install/remove the splitter. Also, if I smash a splitter blade at the track, I can simply buy another blade.
Verus was a VERY close second, and I would've had an installed splitter by now. You're also getting something backed by data which is valuable. You really can't go wrong either way.

I’m not too concerned about the finish. I’m more interested in effectiveness and availability. I’m also curious if the difference in how far they extend under the front bumper has an impact.
