Just realized you were in Cali... Just hit up my friend Jameel at http://www.cmjracing.com/index.htm

He is the guy who water jets my splitters. Give him a call, he can hook you up with whatever you need (they are race fabricators). Tell him Mark with the Camaro Splitters sent you...

What are the dimensions of the sheet? If they are big enough, a few guys could go in on a sheet.

just read through your thread and noticed your trying to have a splitter plate cut/fabricated - HDPE was recommended - I would agree its the best. and IF your getting quoted @ $750 per 4' x 5' sheet i am in the wrong business!!!

HDPE is dirt cheap and if you hunt around you shall be able to get the stuff CNC cut to your size. Should cost under $100.

Hmmm...that's not that big. You might get two at best out of a sheet. I think for the way I'm doing mine, I would only get one out of a sheet.

I agree HDPE is not super expensive but not super cheap either. It is about twice ABS's costs...

Regardless, $200 out the door should cover you... Again, hit up my guy Jameel

Yea, just a 30 second google search and I found a 48x96x0.5 sheet for $200. That might be a better alternative.




Oh, and the material that the COT uses for its splitter is called tegris. Developed by that Milliken company. Tegris is made using polypropylene-based tapes that feature a very strong center core sandwiched by a lower-melt polypropylene co-polymer. Pretty neat stuff.
