I think this is what you guys are talking about.
A custom full length CR Lip Splitter/Diffuser.
Before pictures:
Being super low to the ground, the front lower cover, splash shields, and fender liners have seen better days.
After:
Replaces front cover and splash shields and will better protect the front intercooler from damage when bottoming out.
It is flushed mounted with the CR lip.

That is one method of tackling the issue. The OEM louvers from the underbody cowling works by allowing the low pressure air flowing underneath the car to pull the high pressure hot air out from the engine bay.

Too bad this is a 0.25-0.5 point mod for S2k Challenge. Need a bigger splitter in order to stay competitive. Sigh... 
The best part of it is that it covers up the empty space underneath the CR lip. that should help a little bit with front end downforce to reduce the possible wakes created in that small region...less drag and extra DF? Psychoazn Mike should chime in on this...!

I need a diffuser more than a splitter -_-

Maybe it's totally psychological, but the car "feels" even more confidence inspiring at medium up speeds.
No empirical data other than just the feeling and observation, but my front tires aren't getting any younger, and the temps aren't getting any warmer this time of year, yet the car feels more planted
Win win with the cowcatcher spliter.

In a bone head move caused by new Ferrari distraction while at Watkins Glen. I whacked a curb HARD with my S-Factor Splitter.
It hit so hard, it knocked the curb off the rebar in the ground.
My buds were standing about and made the ugly face from the ugly sound ! Mind you, this is my 3rd S2k, and I have never ever done this before, but I'm so glad it happened with the splitter on.
Besides some chipped paint on the underside of the front edge of the splitter, NO DAMAGE !!!
We all stood around laughing thinking about the functionality of this hard guillotine.
Thanks Ray for this splitter. You saved the front of my car.
More careful in the future...

I spun out at NJMP lightning last week and this thing protected my cr lip perfectly. make sure you really bolt it down to the bumper so its STRONG!
I am getting S-Factor to make me a new one that connects to the frame like the custom full length CR Lip Splitter/Diffuser
just gotta find time after race season :-)
