Default DIY front and side splitters

This is just made out of cardboard for now but I will make it out of ABS sheet probly and the prop rods are just pieces of metal to see what it will look like.Both finished piecies will be fully funtional when finished. the front splitter will extend under the motor.

SOooooo.....

what do you guys think??

sides looks good so far!
the front splitter is a bit to big in my opinion.
My only suggestion would be in you notice how downforce made there sides, where it sticks out straight, then angles down and straight down, i think that looks best,
good work so far though

I did this last summer after seeing another member post about it. Just the front splitter and I made the mounting holes into slots. That way, I can adjust how far it sticks out. I use mine more as a lip protector than anything else. The ABS plastic sheet cost $15 and it has paid for itself. A couple times.

I feel like the outline of the splitter doesn't follow the line of the bumper?

I did this with 3/16th inch abs I think 8_ball was talking about me. It held up well until an off at Thunderhill where it ripped out along with my lip and bottom of my bumper
