Sorry for not updating... Was planning to have a prototype for LA INVASION but hit major problems with it due to the material used.

I'll give it another go soon as work slows down... If anyone makes one in the meantime post'er up

i started on the lt1 splitter and got the cardboard templete almost finished. next i think ill go to something more sturdy like a thin plywood and then eventually im thinking fibgerglass or have it molded if anyone else is going to be interested.

Rods you can buy online or get similar from the hardware store. I plan on using the ABS plastic like the GTO splitter.

I started off with an acrylic template (clear so marking holes was easy) that i could spray black to look like a finished product but it is acrylic therefore it cracked in a billion pieces

Cardboard template is coming

pretty much finished the cardboard templete but its nothing fancy. i just made it so it comes out a couple inches from the stock lt1 bumper all the way around. before i start posting pics i think for a final templete i will be using a under laminate plywood used on floors to get a hard templete and then bolt it up to the bumper. unfortunately i will not be able to show the bumper on teh car(completely torn apart) but i will make a picture of it on the bumper itself and post them up soon. hopefully this week sometime ill get some free time to make the plywood templete and spray it black.
