Thanks RobRob! The effect was really noticeable when I added it to the car. Had to dramatically change the rear wing, and suspension/ swaybar settings to get everything back together so its working. All for less than $100 in materials!

I've got a bunch but the photo's are uploaded on Facebook and they changed how you view photo's so I'm not sure how to repost.

+1 for alumalite you can sometimes get the material needed for under 40 bucks and it's fairly strong stuff due to it's core design.

Yes, and it's more points than the aero benefit.

Where do you source Alumilite?

I have completed my splitter, pretty straight forward, and easy install. I will post some pics when I get the car back in the air, as I forgot when I installed. I used Alumacore. Same product as Alumalite. A 4x8 sheet cost like $55...
