Removable racer front part?

As a weekend warrior who tows the NSX with a trailer to track events I still wait for a special killer application from our favourite boy racer accessories providers:

An easy and fast to remove and fix front (bumper, spoiler) racer part that gives me enough downforce to keep the front/rear aerodynamic balance when using a big ass rear wing.

Nowadays I already have slight problems with my lowered NSX rolling on and off the trailer. Sometimes the rubber lip is bended very hard (depending in which angle the trailer stands related to the ground). Existing aftermarket front spoilers and lips would increase that problem - especialy because they are not as flexible as the stock rubber lip.

If I could remove the whole front before any trailer action I would avoid any damage. I know that those parts already exist in serious racing - our European Club member Didier Wuydts has one on his prototype trophy car - but this car is overall way more race prepped than mine.

If someone would provide a bit less radical part he could make two deals with me: The front part and the big ass wing.
 
I use an RM splitter with a bolt on splitter/under tray.

It does what you ask, it takes getting under the car to remove about 12 nuts to take it off.

Let me know if ou are interested in more details.

Try backing your car up onto the trailer. I think you'll find that there's more clearance that way.
 
CopsJazz: Doesn't make any difference - if the back rolls on first, the front lip scrubs over the ground anyhow. And: My trailer's custom made for my car and its front/rear weight relation - so I would have too much weight on the the trailer's front if I do it vice versa.

supercharged: 12 nuts is a lot - I thought of 4-6 quick locks like on a Ducati 916.
 
Attachment is custom, you could use whatever you desire, point is that this is a realitively low cost and effective solution.
