Made some side splitter/diffusers over the weekend from pvc broad. Not bad for $20. Got it from Home Depot

I saw this on instagram the other day, it looks fresh. Did you just use a few screws to install them to the side skirts? What did you do near the jack points?

This looks freaking awesome! I plan to do this but get the splitter hydro dipped in carbon fiber for an added touch. Maybe even just wrap it in Vinyl.

What length screws did you use, I had a similar idea for a lip splitter on a budget. Now that I know I'm not the only one it makes me more eager, plus cheap = Easily replaceable.

Killer build btw
