Front Splitter DIY?
 
Hey Guys,

I'm looking to fab up a front splitter for my 370z. I was wondering if anyone had already done this and could give me some insight on dimmensions. I'll be having my buddy's shop fab it up so that the cuts can be precise. Even the dimmensions on an APR front splitter would help. I'm strictly looking for something functional.

Also, what do you guys suggest for rods to hold the front of the splitter? I was thinking of using metal wire.
PS. I have a 16 Nismo front bumper (if that makes a difference).

Thanks in advance!!

Play around with cardboard mock ups first. You can make whatever you want. Chassis mount it if you can for some good support.

The plan is for a chasis mounted splitter. Just wanted to see if anyone had something already created before I try to mock it up myself.

Just go to Home Depot and buy some aluminium tube and L channel. You can use oem spots and drill into the radiator support to make a frame and drill into the tube for attackment points.

That is exactly what i'm looking for!
Where did you get the wire to hold the front up?!
How thick is the material? 1/4 inch?
