Sorry, the time just wasn't there today to get the car outside and take pictures. Maybe tomorrow or sometime this week.

It's tough trying to explain to the wife that she has to watch both kids (2 and 21 months old) while I go take pictures of the car.

Right now the car is close to going into hibernation for the winter....

It's on, but I need to pick up those longer bolts this afternoon after work.

I'm very happy, part of me hopes that you don't sell more because it adds to the uniqueness of the splitter.

What Mark is trying to say here is, this is a big mother ******. It's really hard to ship it, due to the fact that it's... the size of your bumper.

That and it's one whole sheet of ABS.

(Sorry, just watched Pulp Fiction, had to use the phrase "mother ******" before the feeling wore off)

That is part of it but the main thing is the economy might make this thing double the cost soon...

More money to make since it is petroleum based...

More money to get it to me...

More money to get it to you...

Just what the ABS distributor has been saying. Good news bad news. Good news I won't ever make the price higher than what is on my website. Bad news if my price goes up I'll just have to stop selling this piece...

I feel your pain . Ours is 16 months old full of energy.
At least your wife let you put a lift in.

The 4-post is great. I went with a 4 post because I'm using it as storage for the t/a in the winter. I'm not crazy about storing a unibody car on a 2post for extended periods of time. Plus the suspension droop isn't good for them either. Also, parking under a 2 post is more difficult to get in and out of on a regular basis. Finally, a 2 post is pretty wide, and would have shifted it off center and then impeded on the other bay of the garage.

Plus my brother in law has a 2 post in his garage if i ever need one.

Well, in case it got missed in the other thread, here's some more pics of mine with it fully extended. I've since recessed it, but haven't pulled the car off the lift to take pics yet.

I decided to do something a little different and cut out a notch at the front of the splitter. It removed about 1.5" inches from the tip which helps in going in and out of my driveway. I'm still undecided if I like it, though.
