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.

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.
The Viper ACR aerodynamics are capable of high levels of downforce
which will noticeably affect the grip and handling of the vehicle at speeds
as low as 50 mph.
Regularly inspect all of the aerodynamic components and attachments for
damage or wear.
