Description
Improve the performance of your front splitter with the Verus Engineering Splitter Air Dam for the 2017–2020 Subaru BRZ. This simple bolt-on component helps complete the front splitter system by preventing high-pressure air from forcing its way between the front bumper and splitter.
By reducing unwanted airflow between the bumper and splitter, the air dam helps maximize the pressure differential between the top and bottom surfaces of the splitter, increasing the downforce generated at speed.
The air dam also helps bring the splitter into a more horizontal position relative to the road surface, further improving front splitter performance. Improved airflow around the front bumper can also benefit other aerodynamic components, including splitter endplates and dive planes.
Designed for BRZ owners who want to maximize the performance of their existing front splitter, the Verus Engineering Air Dam is well suited for track driving and spirited street use.
Important Fitment Note: The 2017–2020 Subaru BRZ Front Splitter Air Dam installs in the reverse orientation compared with the 2013–2016 BRZ variant.

How Does a Splitter Air Dam Work?
A front splitter relies on the pressure difference between its upper and lower surfaces to generate downforce. If high-pressure air is allowed to pass between the front bumper and the splitter, the pressure differential can be reduced and splitter performance can suffer.
The Verus Engineering Air Dam helps prevent this unwanted airflow from entering the space between the bumper and splitter. This allows the splitter to maintain a greater pressure differential at speed, increasing the amount of downforce it can generate.
Aerodynamic Science
The air dam also helps position the front splitter more horizontally relative to the road surface. Maintaining the proper splitter orientation helps the splitter work more effectively with the airflow beneath the vehicle.
Additionally, the air dam improves airflow management around the front bumper, which can benefit other front aerodynamic components such as splitter endplates and dive planes.
This makes the air dam a useful addition for BRZ owners looking to create a more complete and effective front aerodynamic system.
Installation
The Verus Engineering Splitter Air Dam uses a simple bolt-on design and includes the necessary installation hardware.
The components are CNC laser cut from 5052 aluminum and finished with a durable black powder coat. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout the installation.
Important: For the 2017–2020 Subaru BRZ, the air dam installs in the reverse orientation compared with the 2013–2016 BRZ version.
