Front Splitter
• Splitters are potent aerodynamic elements usually only found on purpose built racing
cars. The Viper ACR front splitter has been specially adapted for street use with the
addition of several new features.
• The leading edge has been scalloped
back to reduce front overhang for day to
day driving.
• Toughened polymer rub strips have been
added to reduce wear and abrasion on
the splitter panel.
• Tension cables support the front edge to
allow some upward deflection in minor
impacts with ramped surfaces.
• In spite of these enhancements, the splitter
remains highly vulnerable to impact
because of its position on the car.
• The front splitter will not flex or compress
against impacts from the front. If an impact
does occur, have the splitter inspected. A
cracked or delaminated splitter should be
replaced.
• Always leave ample room and be sure to
educate anyone you allow to operate the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
Use care when approaching parking blocks, tall speed bumps and garage curbs.
These surfaces can severely damage your splitter.
• Use care when driving up to sloped surfaces or over speed bumps. Approaching a
speed bump or a slope at a slight angle may improve your clearance.
CAUTION!
Hard contact with steep ramps may cause damage to your splitter.
