Splitter Update:
I was able to test the splitter out at Sebring last weekend and it passed with flying colors. I was relieved to hear that I built it very strong from one of my buddies who was there who races in NASA AI. He said it was stronger then his first one. I got the car up around 120+ on the back straight.
Now I did have one issue and that was with my GT500 hood vent flying off. Long story short a month ago I forgot to put my hood pins on and when I hit 45mph the hood flew up and destroyed itself. The vent got a little damaged. I needed a new hood so I found one locally in the same color and cut it up like the last one. Only thing is I cut the hole for the vent just a little to big. It wasn't snug like I had it before so over 100mph it flew straight up. Luckily a track official found it after it had been run over. The old hood I found needed to be painted. I have a guy who does paint and body for me basically for free but he's a little far and now since he sold his truck he can't take any part I give him to his shop which is even further away. I'd have to deliver it myself and since I have no way of delivering a hood that far I thought I'd try my hand at body work myself. I'm thinking I'll do the hard part of sanding and priming the hood and then taking it across the street to a body shop and let them paint it. Should be much cheaper that way.
Here is the stock hood I found. I cut the underside away and the center vent hole. I used a black silicon to glue the upper to lower portions of the hood after I cut it. Then I prepped it and painted it a gloss black.
Here's the hood vent after fixing it up some. I had to sand it down to the plastic and then repaint it gloss black again. This time I added two holes for bolts at the top to keep it in place since it can't hold itself in place. I'll be using SS bolts.
Here's the hood now. Tonight I finished sanding the primer down for final paint.
Figured once the hood and vent are painted that the hood pins should at least also look good. I gave them a little polish for the hell of it.
