To start with, let’s talk about what the splitter does. A Front splitter is used to create down-force (or reduce life). The overall goal is to create a low pressure zone underneath the car while creating a high pressure above the car thus creating down-force which then translates into grip.
What we’ll be using is 1/4in thick corrugated alumilite.
Before we cut up some alumilite, we used some cardboard to make up a template.
Cutting a template for the front splitter.
Cutting out the template.
All cut out. I plan on having the front splitter extend just a few inches past the front axles. I will be cutting out some louvers to help get rid of engine bay heat.
Test mounted:
Next in Part2, we’ll cut some alumilite, and mount it up and add some support braces. Stay tuned….
