Description
The Verus Engineering Splitter Air Dam for the Toyota GR86 is a bolt-on aerodynamic component designed to improve the performance of the front splitter by controlling airflow between the factory bumper and splitter. By preventing high-pressure air from traveling underneath the front bumper and between the bumper and splitter, the air dam helps increase the pressure differential across the splitter, resulting in increased front-end downforce.
The air dam also helps improve airflow around the front bumper, which can benefit other aerodynamic components such as splitter endplates and dive planes. By helping position the splitter more horizontally relative to the road surface, the air dam further contributes to improved splitter performance at speed.
Designed as a simple addition to an existing front splitter system, the Verus Engineering Splitter Air Dam is an ideal upgrade for Toyota GR86 owners who participate in track days, spirited driving, or simply want to maximize the performance of their front aerodynamic setup.

Aerodynamic Design
A front splitter generates downforce by creating a pressure differential between its upper and lower surfaces. For the splitter to operate effectively, unwanted high-pressure air must be prevented from traveling underneath the bumper and into the low-pressure area below the splitter.
The Verus Engineering Splitter Air Dam helps control this airflow by closing the gap between the bumper and splitter. This allows the splitter to maintain a greater pressure differential between its upper and lower surfaces at speed, increasing the aerodynamic load generated by the front splitter.
The air dam also helps position the splitter more horizontally relative to the road surface, further improving its aerodynamic effectiveness.
By improving airflow around the front bumper, the air dam can also benefit other aerodynamic components installed in the same area, including front splitter endplates and dive planes.
Construction
The Verus Engineering Splitter Air Dam is manufactured from 5052 aluminum and CNC laser cut for accurate fitment and consistent construction. The components are finished with a durable black powder coat designed to provide additional protection against the conditions encountered during street and track use.
Stainless steel hardware is used throughout the assembly for durability and reliable installation.
