Standard true splitters are 5 inches. That is what this one is. We are building a frame which will have rods connect from the closest part of the top of the frame that will go upward back to the radiator support framing wich will act as the support rods but wont be visible if that makes any since haha basically we will be making rods that will be mounted just behind the grill and will go back. Ill get more pics up, with the left over material were going to make side diffusers as well. I also have a rear diffuser shipping out this week so hopefully it will all be balanced.

That front diffuser is going to provide way more downforce than the rear one especially at that size. I don't think it needs to be quite that big to get the affect you're looking for especially on a small car like the s2k.

What did you put around the outer edge? Looks like you have a heat gun at work in the one pic.
