Default New Splitter (work in progress)

So I decided to go ahead with the splitter build that LT4Vert came up with in a photoshop awhile ago. I talked with him and he said that its cool If I use some of his design in my one off piece.

Heres a photoshop of my car with it (dont mind the photosopped CCW wheels and painted hood)


Heres the cardboard mock up that I will be using until I get the final version that I like. The splitter Im using is one that I broke a long time ago, I will change the shape of it later on. Im only doing half of it right now so its easier to work with, I will then mirror it for the other side. Hard to get a final picture of what it would look like with the tape and cardboard but it gives me a little idea.









BTW the blue thing holding it up in the middle Is my dogs bone chew toy, I know how bad it looks in the pictures but I needed something fast so I grabbed the first thing that I could find.

Im glad a lot of people are interested in it and like it so far. Still trying to figure out the shape and placement of the duct inlets, which will be used for brake ducts. Also the splitter wont just be flat like what im using now it will end up looking just like a zr1 but with more of a rounded shap to fit the trans am bumper.
