The Cobalt 272 has a cool looking kit. Can you do something like that?

But that's a whole different bumper. Would be cool though

Looks like it might be made of fiberglass which is not what you want for a splitter.

Finally got 2 sheets of the right material today. My son in law is picking me up a new lip from the dealer he works for. The first couple I try will be made of cardboard so I can get an idea how they look.

DSP the splitter can only go out as far as the front of the bumper as seen from above, not sure how road racing goes.

Would love to see what you come up with mongorat, thanks for the Flywheel and parts. Great price, did you ever sell the hubs or turbo?

Finally getting around to working on this. Im going to do this as a 2 piece on the first prototype although when installed it will look like one piece. This is so if a hard hit is taken the whole splitter will not rip off. If anyone has a drawing of what it should look like send it to me.

RTBlue in Ontario has done a complete flat bottom undertray with alloy includes splitter, very well executed. Alloy is a problem if you hit the ground with it, but so far so good for RTblue.... he also runs a trap door oil pan....fyi
