    So I was thinking about maybe trying to make a front wind splitter,
    Probably not real soon. Buti was just wondering what you guys think About the idea.
    It sounds nice in my opinion if it was made right. And not look sobad.
    I was gunna take offmyfront bumper to tracein on carboard. And keep that. Then toy around with designs. Itll be made out of plywood. And then coated with a thin layer of the same plastix used to make cutting boards . I thiught that would be the best way of making a cheap one.that if need to. Could make more when I needed a new one.
    Anyways, what do you guys think.
    I reseched a little about how to make it actually be effective for the most
    Part, And it might not look half bad.. Who knows.

    What does this splitter look like, have a picture for reference?

    EDIT: disregard, I googled it. I agree with Dan, would look good on a lowered car.

    Similar to this. Idk when I'll do it. Cuz my car has a few issues regarding the front end. I'm just tossing the idea out. Cuz I've read around a bit. And done right. It can benefit handling.and mightnot look half bad..

    I would use fiberglass add several layers of glass until it is the thickness I want then trace the pattern onto it, finish paint and attach

    With fiberglass that would get expensive. I've read a few places people vote agaist That because of the price and how easily they can get damaged.. With plywood if you keep the cutout of caardboard you can make another one fairly easy

    Are you doing this purely for looks or for functionality or both?

    When I first thought about it. It was for functionability. But that doesmt mean I can't try to make it look good in the processs right? Lol
