Im thinking that splitter is sticking out to far on the ends. I thought it was going to look dope but i think its kinda too rice. Maybe i need to park it on the street and look at it.

Any criticism is welcome.

Look a bit wide for my taste. Add a couple of canards and you'll be on your way to a time attack car

Definitely wide. But I do like the aggressive time attack look. Trim ends narrower nice and clean.

I concur, it was a bit wide, but I did really like the angled ends. If it was brought closer to the bumper, it would look pretty streamlined.

Any reason why you mounted the splitter into the bumper itself versus finding a chassis mounting point? I'd be concerned with destroying the bumper if you hit anything at low speed. Meh, just an observation though

I wanted to make it so i can remove the splitter and front fascia in one piece. The whole thing was done purely for cosmetic reasons. The splitter is only 5/16 thick, not much lower than the bumper. If she dies, she dies. I was never crazy about the body kit anyways.

left one out the other day.

Man, I was just looking at MonsterBox's 4 rotor thread. Looking at his splitter just makes what I have look so cheesy. Haha ****, I'm going to mess around with a few things. I have a few more ideas but this just might end up getting scrapped.

Over lap and rivet the "winglet" part you cut off closer to the body.

Good idea, I did just that except I used ABS cement instead of rivets. We'll see how it comes out, but i'm thinking its going to look pretty good.

@djSL Well that was short-lived. I can't say you didn't tell me so. Some nice chap let a 48"x48" slab of roofing shingles slide off the truck in the middle of the freeway. Could have been worse I suppose.

Damn, that really sucks about the bumper. Did you find the owner of the shingles or are you on the hook for the damage?
The RX8 seats look really nice. How's the height compared to stock?

Nah man im on the hook, it had probably been in the road for a bit. I usually see stuff like that but the car in front of me swerved at the last minute, and by the time I saw it it was too late.

Thanks man. I agree, these RX8 seats look and fit great into this car. I haven't actually measured them, but the drivers seat feels almost the same. If I had to make a guess I'd say within an inch or so. Passenger is noticeably taller when youre sitting in it, maybe around 2 or 3 inches. Super comfortable though. My brother in law took a ride with me yesterday. He's 6'3"ish and he didn't have any problems with head room.

Wowzer! Although, I'm pretty sure your bumper would've been destroyed either way lol. That sucks though.
