Is this airdam legal for IT?

[civic44]

Hello all,

My sponsor is offering me this part for my 2000 Civic:

It's the one for 99-00 EK. Is this legal for ITS? Thanks.

Is it just the white airdam and black splitter attached at the bottom? As long as no part of it is below the bottom of your wheel and you can't see its outline anywhere as you look directly from above the car, it's probably legal. If it does extend past the vertical outline, you'd need to trim the splitter part accordingly. If the sides extend past the vertical outline, you'd need to pull that in so it doesn't.

Got any better photos? - GA

Yes, Special Projects splitters/air-dams are IT/HC legal. They are within the vertical body line of the car, do not go below the wheel rim, and only go back as far as the fender opening; the three things needed to be legal. That's what they were designed for.

Awesome guys, thanks for the quick and precise response!

What did everyone decide about attachment points?

I don't think a consensus was ever reached. Kinda one of those "let sleeping dogs lie" things...

I wouldn't be so sure.

The EG kit was designed for a car that runs 17" wheels and a 235/45/17.

You put that kit on a EG with 15" or 14 or 13" wheels and its LOW.

How do i know.. i attempted to put the kit on my car, at a high ride height it was still stupid low.

He was supposed to be coming out with a new version, but.... I wouldn't wait. Shit takes him FOREVER.

Add to that the kit is NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, quick release for the EG. It's a BTCH to even install.

For GA - "We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning"

So there, I think we have a verdict. As long as the splitter attaches to the frame, it is not IT legal. Even with the SPMS kit, you should be able to design a self-supporting splitter by just using the airdam and bumper cover.

Wondering which event will be GA's first in 2010 and when will JeffL pm me with 'STFU' cause I am sick of writing posts but not really,
