Home Job FC Splitter

I'm posting these pics for Apex on his home made splitter. I'll give you three guess what it's made of.

Peace

That car could use a little love... The stickers are killing the look.

Then again, to each his own.

I think the stock undertray would be more aerodynamic than something flat like that, but it's hard to tell how far it goes back. Not bad for home made, black would've looked better, though, at least in my opinion.

You should see the car in person.It's a rolling billboard for his company and how they can fix a shiity paint job.If you notice the Passenger side says before and the drivers side after and what a difference it is

yeah yeah yeah..it was a test fit...the black color they had was VERY texured...I figured this is a dedicated track car, so I wasn't going to spend $300+ for a "carbon" look splitter that would break the first time I hit a FIA curb wrong. I do not think that paint would stick to the slick surface..Will look for a proper black piece and use this one as a stencil for the next...Not bad for $61.00! And yes..the graphics are for my shop and a tax write off excuse for advertising! It looks pretty racey in person. Thanks for the comments good and bad. Eat me space.

Any time ****.I got your back man. Hey I got a connection to Multi-Craft if you want some UHMW plastic in Black. No texture at all just kind of a dull finish .I'll bring home a sample tomorrow for you, Hell I might even have a large piece of scrap laying around. Would 1/4" thick be enough?
