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.

Next in Part2, we’ll cut some alumilite, and mount it up and add some support braces.  Stay tuned….
