looks good, I don't think I've ever seen a GR40 spoiler....

nice

its hard to tell by those pictures what you have, but some nice fat tires in the back would really help the look of the wingless/low profile spoiler.

I'm running 275s, and 315s would look better, but they would also increase understeer, which I don't want. Function before looks.

Doesn't look half bad, what's the GR40 spoiler?

I'm interested in your front splitter - you building it??

Hey Dal, hows the Wife?

It?s not a splitter, it?s an airdam. It will just guide the air around it, and create downforce by making a negative pressure behind it. To have a truly effective splitter or airdam, it has to be low to the ground, and the one I?m planning on building is probably going to have a 3 inch ground clearance. I will simply use a garden separating plastic shield, and wrap it all the way around right back to the wheels, and reinforce it a bit at the top with sheet metal. I will lave the bottom bendable, because I still want to flex when it will hit driveways, speedbumps, or anything else it might encounter. I?m doing it, because the combination of airdam and Griggs spoiler will be a mild, yet an effective way to get the downforce without slowing the car down. Once the situation calls for it, I will step up to a more serious setup.

If you want a race built splitter, your best bet is with G-Stream piece. It's designed by Paul Brown, same guy who manages Tiger Racing, so you know it?s good and functional.

looks alright, probably takes away any drag it was making

$975 for their front splitters? holy shiot. I'd be interested in getting one but not for that price. I'd like some more info on your home made one...

That front splitter wins races. This is not some rice car jewelry. As soon as I finish mine, I will post a write up. Might be a few weeks, because school work is overwhelming right now.
