They mount ahead of the front tires and redirect the incoming air so it doesn't slam straight into the tire, which cuts the drag and turbulence an exposed tire creates and cleans up the airflow around the front of the car. Run in conjunction with a splitter, they improve your overall front aero efficiency and add real downforce. These are the same spats we run on the Eric Kutil number 82 Super Touring Civic in GridLife Touring Cup, so they've been proven where it counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow They Work\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA spinning front tire is one of the least aerodynamic things on a race car. It's a big, bluff, rotating shape, and when you widen the tire and dial in aggressive camber you push even more of it out into the airstream, so all that air piling into the front of the tire turns into drag and turbulence. The spat sits ahead of the tire and deflects that air around it instead of letting it collide head-on, which reduces the mess the tire would otherwise make and helps the rest of your front aero do its job. That's why they work best alongside a splitter, and in Racebred's CFD analysis the pair found roughly 32 pounds of added downforce at 100 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt to Take Abuse\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are cut from 1\/8\" textured ABS plastic, CAD designed and then CNC cut and beveled for a clean edge. ABS is tough and high impact resistant, so a spat shrugs off the curbing, debris, and contact that a low front aero part inevitably sees on track, and because the material has some give it conforms to the curvature and profile of your bumper rather than fighting it. Just as important, they're low cost and easy to replace, so when you do eventually catch one on a cone or a curb, swapping it is cheap and quick instead of a painful repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstall\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are universal, so plan on a little fitting work. You'll likely need to trim them to your desired length and drill into your bumper to mount them, and the kit includes eight self-tapping screws to do that. A left and a right spat are both included, so you've got everything for the front of the car in one kit. Just know going in that mounting these means drilling your bumper, so take a minute to position them before you commit to the holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApproximately 32 lbs of added downforce at 100 mph (with a splitter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1\/8\" textured ABS plastic, CAD designed, CNC cut and beveled\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4.8\" x 19.5\" universal sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh impact resistance, conforms to bumper curvature\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLow cost and easily replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes left and right spats and 8 self-tapping screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eUniversal\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Racebred Components","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":69834208772130,"sku":"RBC-RC2-5001","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/RBC-RC2-5001_08h5.jpg?v=1794607415","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/racebred-components-universal-front-tire-spats","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
