I designed the shapes, and had it CNC cut. the part where it meets the lower portion if the bumper was carved by hand with a grinder. A dirty job.
interesting, I like your design. I think I am going to start gathering materials to build one similar. I like the look of the IROC cars, and I have been wanting a functional splitter for some time now. Once I get the suspension buttoned up, it's go time

You can see some of the air box and mounts in this shot.







With and without.



Tested to 170mph on track.

Lots more going on than is visible.







I like the look of that, I need to pull my bumper cover off to repaint anyway, so it may be the perfect time to do this, I'm going to buy a 4x8 sheet of 1/2" HDPE and go from there.
