How do you like the Verus splitter? It's almost half the cost of the Racebred, but I'm a little sketched out about it being essentially lip mounted.
First and foremost I DID NOT want a splitter that is only mounted to the plastic bumper or no support rods at all, my CTR gets tracked so I wanted it to have solid support and Verus Engineering splitter is supported by the crash beam.

Second I like the aesthetic of their splitter, it's simple and relatively low key. Same goes for their rear diffuser.

When it comes to the splitter install it was all very straightforward and easy with one exception, sliding the bumper back on and getting the support rods lined up evenly through the intercooler mesh grill. It took us a few attempts to get it and ended up clipping out a couple of the mesh which made it easier.

As far as impact on driving I can't say much yet I've only driven it around town. I will be at the track in a couple weeks where it'll be put to the test.

Purpose? Engine build?
Yeah, throwing some rods and pistons in myself. Also wanted to learn more about the process for the R and every little hose, wire, and bracket on there. Might do a clutch too.

Prl everything! Did the turbo back exhuast with turbo and downpipe elbow blankets Saturday, then intercooler charge pipes and titanium inlet pipe on Sunday. Feels great but getting sick of the emissions codes

What is causing you to get emission codes? Castles downpipe?

Mine slid back and sideways.

Will be R2d soon on roof with one of these, which one looks least stupid???

1) Identical replacement Type R so it too can fade out in six months or less

2) Honda Racing (decal vinyl, custom cut width, on front part of roof)

3) BLACK Mattel Hot Wheels banner, (roof front)

Sorry if I wasn't clear; I know that this is a hybrid chassis mount. It has the two mounts in the crash bar and I think a few other points plus it extends beyond the main lip. I guess I was just comparing it to something like Racebred that is basically solely mounted to the crash bar. I'm very torn between the two options.

Verus makes some amazing stuff and I love the science/R&D that they use to back up their products. I already ordered the canards from them and I'm planning to get the P10 once it's back in stock.

I really feel like any sticker on top will fade , i like the type R sticker best, just be sure to remove any sticker in 1 year or less or its simply a super huge hassle to remove all the little pieces that break off plus the glue it leaves behind. Make sure when removing body panel stickers to use sticker removal spray from 3m for an easier removal

Can I ask, why does it have to be on the roof? I feel like that's a strange place that you won't really see, unlike a windshield banner for example.

Just a personal (goofy & unique) choice, agree it’s strange like many of my mods.
These murals aren’t ideal size wise for a 4” front windshield banner and I don’t like the slotted window look banners create. Two of three are made of decal vinyl intended for exterior use, the Type R one isn’t.

Always appreciate responses and ideas.
