Your comment is stating the obvious, and is generally accurate. Although I've been amazed at how clean some of the splitters have been on other QVs that have appeared on BaT. Nevertheless, I commented because most potential buyers are going to be interested in the condition of the bottom of the splitter, and there are no pics of it. Regardless of its condition, it should certainly not stop the next person from purchasing this fantastic and super rare car.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1725547092, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 15480265, "authorName": "csalbitz", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/csalbitz/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "It\u2019s a shame you didn\u2019t post any photos of the exposed carbon fiber roof made by Sparco!
