DSE ACR Extreme Aero Splitter and Diffuser Extensions

[SSGNRDZ_28]

I have been working on these parts for a while and want to gauge interest before going into production. These will be made from the same material as the OEM parts (slight variation in surface texture/finish possible), splitter extension nut inserts will be stainless steel. The OEM parts were laser scanned for accurate reproduction of the shape. Future variations are possible depending on interest where we change the shape or dimensions for different handling or other adjustments.

With enough interest I will be setting up a pre-sale link on my webpage and get manufacturing underway.

Hey Doug,
Are the diffuser strakes copies of the ACR version and require the ACR diffuser? Or have they been designed to work with the lines of the non-ACR diffuser? Having said that, are you going to reproduce the ACR rear diffuser for non-ACR cars?

These are meant to work exactly the same way as the current ACR-E extensions so unfortunately they would not work with the non-E aero at this time.

As for your second question, potentially but have not looked into it yet.

[Brad00GTS]

Do you know how your price compares with OEM? I made the mistake of putting mine on for street use, they are pretty scrapped up right now so a spare set would be great, you prices seem very fair.

[ACR08]

I would definitely be interested. Just need the car to get built now.

[1of1TA1.0]

Definitely will purchase these when you come out with them.

Ughhh wish the strakes would fit a non-acr

I drive a 14 GTS , in dire need of a proper ACR rear diffuser , would be very interested. Pls keep us non ACR guys posted

[GTSilver]

Interested for non ACR

Cheaper to a lot cheaper… MSRP for the diffuser strakes is $895; $1620 for the splitter (at that price comes with the bag, struts, beam brackets). That is if you can get them which might be tough for a while.

Interested for non ACR

Keep in mind guys, it isn't an insignificant task to mount these to a non-ACR. To start I think you would be better off buying an ACR diffuser panel so that the contours go with the flow of the diffuser strakes, I would not want to design one for the non ACR diffuser panel, if it would even be possible it would probably be cost prohibitive. Once you have the ACR diffuser panel you have 4 carbon fiber brackets that these strake extensions mount to. The strake extensions are rigid plastic cut flat and bent into shape when installed, so your mounting bracket needs to be very sturdy. To make these brackets out of carbon, 4 molds would be required (read $$$), aluminum may be possible to keep costs down.

I think it was discovered that the only difference between ACR and non ACR diffuser panel is that the ACR has nuts to screw the carbon fiber pieces into. The actual shape of the plastic is the same and it's the carbon fiber pieces that give it the different shape.

I'm in if you can create those pieces for non ACRs. I'd be curious if they could be made out of something other than carbon fiber and if the weight difference was negligible vs the increased cost of carbon fiber.

[ACR Steve]

Very reasonably priced- will be great long term for ACR-E owners

[Junkie]

That is awesome, I'll be needing to replace mine eventually I'm sure. I would rather do business with you, our previous deals have went very well.

[Exhlr8n]

I'm sure I will need some at some point too.

If you were to provide the panel with the strakes already installed I'd buy one, and I'm sure others would too. I wouldn't care if the panel wasn't CF nor the strakes. The weight difference would be like 5 lb. No idea what it would cost but I'd be 100% sending payment today if it was under a grand.

[Crotalidae]

I'd be in too as a non ACR owner...

[1of1TA1.0]

Looks like someone could sell quite a few of the full assemblies for non ACR owners. I would buy one as well. To expect the entire set up to be less than $1K is unrealistic however. Maybe APR or someone like that would be able to help out. I do think that the intent of this thread is for ACR owners and this pricing is competitive and available soon by the sounds of it. I'm glad people step up to give us options, I really believe that's what the engineers had hoped as they knew that FCA/Mopar wouldn't or would over price the support items for our cars.

[ViperGeorge]

Do you by any chance make the splitter extension for a Gen 4 ACR?

[BTR Racing]

I have an ACR non extreme and I just looked at the diffuser panel closely, it appears to me that you are correct. It looks identical to the extreme panel less the nuts for the diffuser brackets. If you could duplicate those 4 brackets from aluminum I would assume they could be coated and riveted or zeus fastened to the OEM panel. You would then have the option to purchase the extensions for track use. In my experience with our sprint cars, the difference in weight between sheet aluminum and carbon is nominal in contrast to the substantial cost difference. We ultimately stopped using the carbon fiber on our cars because although is it strong in a sense, I would not classify it as durable in a thin format. When you do break it or damage it, its expensive to replace.

If someone could duplicate the 4 brackets out of aluminum or carbon if that was how it ended up, I would be a buyer as well.

[SSGNRDZ_28]

George - I do not make a splitter extension for the Gen IV ACR but there is no reason I couldn't. I just need to get one to scan.

Non-ACR-E owners: Thank you for your feedback. I will look into reproducing the diffuser mounting brackets in aluminum or carbon. I agree, aluminum would not be much heavier and could be a more economical solution. At first glance I don't think it could be under $1k out the door but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

ACR-E owners: I will look into starting a group buy soon for these extensions, I expect a lower price than stated above will be possible. I will likely offer an incentive for those willing to order before production is complete.

Thanks
Doug

Unfortunately I don't have a Gen 4 extension. I have the big part but not the two pieces that bolt to the front (the street piece and the track piece).

[Ludington1]

Doug,
I was in Mexico City this week and on the road next week too, but I promise we'll get together soon for the GenIV pieces.

[soltic]

Lol on the timing, just finished going the old-school way and creating router jigs for personal supply, am able to knock 4 front splitters (plus spare kitchen cutting boards) and 3.25 sets of diffusers out of their respective sheets.

Doug's costing seems good if you live in the US and don't have the ability and funds to set-up for your own manufacture.

The Dodge pricing is so ridiculous it's laughable (for something which is meant to be wearable & so easy to reproduce)....

Thanks Darren, we will figure something out soon.

Nice work - these aren't too easy to reproduce manually! And I agree, the last thing I want to worry about is the cost of replacement on these, might as well be carbon fiber!

FYI to those interested, I have finalized my pricing above and initiated a group buy here: http://driveviper.com/forums/threads...-Free-Shipping

Free shipping to the first 10 to make a purchase to kick this project off.
