i think filling in the exhaust holes for those with cutouts is a great idea. looks good to me.

Make one similar to that one and you have my money! I'd like one that you can place over the bottom 'CETA' section of the bumper, I don't care what I have to cut, but that would be freakin' wicked, I'm totally in and you can hold me to that.

I agree, you should probably do one or the other. If you do both the front of your car is gonna be insanely low and it will look odd from the front, and the sides. The front will look very long and from the sides your front body will be lower than your sides. It's like buying a body kit and only putting the front on

The first car I thought of was Alan's and then I saw the pics. To be functional and easy to make it would need to be a flat plane with fins/strakes that extended to the back at a 8-12 deg slope, more than the 12 degrees and you'll most likely start to see flow separation.
Louis from LG comment that you won't start to see meaningful aero results/info until about 90mph, this was back when I was doing yarn testing on the front end. It should reduce drag a good little bit and if it's effective it'll form low pressure and start to suck the car down so it should probably be anchored to the car well and be fairly rigid.

some pics for a point of reference.

How about diffusers on the top of the rear hatch glass like the IROC TA's? As a side benefit they would reduce heat and light on the tops of the rear seats drying out the leather.

i like the idea of a rear diffusor. i was contemplating making something for my t/a. my idea was 2 blades on either side of the plate, with a aluminum sheet connecting the rear well to the bumper. wasn't goin for pure functionality tho, more tipless fill in. i think just selling the blades with a template to rivet them on would be a simple thing for appearance that would have a broad appeal. goin any more complex will get expensive quick

Do you supply stainless hardware or just traditional with the splitters ? Keep up the good work.....
8 of the 11 holes are factory mounts. 3 holes HAVE to be drilled or you use double sided 3M tape, I recommend drilling.

To each their own but I ask everyone, pro or con, to with hold judgement until it is on a car for real... Which should be VERY soon
