well i saw that shifter at shucks (cragen/checker). in my opinion it doesnt belong in an import, but its your car. do a quick on the plywood splitter and there is a diy home depot lip in the how-to section.

There was a whole thread on plywood splitters not that long ago. It'll give you some answers.

And a no on the shifter. If your just looking for a nice, cheap shifter, just look on ebay some more. There are some that aren't half bad lloking for about 20-25 bucks.

i saw the thread for it. My question is if anyone has a combination of both on their car.

[Salem240]

^^^ I just can't imagine it. It couldn't look good.

this sounds like the start of something very ugly, but w/e not my car

[pj]

i said it in the other thread, and ill say it again, no matter how pretty it is, its wood. wood on cars? no.we dont drive model t's, we drive s chassis.like said ^^ above....its not my car so whatever. but damn.

this is your car, not a high school carpentry shop project. what is wrong with people these days

[s13beast]

That shifter would be gay unless you had a v8 swap. and you dont. And wood? no.

[Stripes]

i guess if you hit something you are going to eat some splinters

well i wasn't thinking of just painting the plywood. I was thinking of finishing it with fiber glass, pretty much the plywood would be like a base

while i will admit to the high caliber of craftsmanship on the piece, i will continue to hold my previous oppinion, which is...no. the grain of the car looks my my buddy's guitar haha

You guys don't seem to realize, even after assumedly reading the splitter thread, that pro racing team splitters are often made of wood?

keywords here "pro racing" why would he need as much front downforce as a "pro racing" team. If I am guessing correctly, they don't use them for appearance.

[musashin]

Now in terms of cost, ease of use/construction, and durability, what would you suggest to make a splitter out of then? Other than wood, of course.

[pj]

well, if cost was an issue, you dont need a splitter. pro teams do what pro teams do, i dont, nor would i put wood on my car. sorry. im not trying to be rude or anything so dont take it like that at all dude. if you actually have a need for a splitter, which i doubt 90% of users here do(that includes myself) id buy carbon fibre splitter. thats just me. though i admit, id never buy one nor want/need one

[leesredgt]

To be honest,ive been thinking about a hurst shifter my self.Idk why but i have.Put pictures up if you get it.

well a lot of stuff on the street such as aero kits come from "Pro racing"

Pro racing teams also have slicks, complete carbon fiber bodies, and 20 sponsor stickers. Does that mean everyone should do that too?

I got an idea. Lets take it a step further than wood splitters.CARDBOARD BODYKITS!Its cheap and easy to work with.*

*Thats not meant to flame the OP, im just using logic thats been suggested.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Well, technically cardboard was once wood, right?

[freakyjason]

That's a good point^, but I still want to kill your avatar. I hate those commercials.

No, it doesn't. But we're not discussing whether the OP should use a splitter, we're discussing the best way for him to do it.

To the OP: It doesn't seem like, from the way the lip attaches and the way a splitter attaches, that you could really do both. As I'm imagining it, the splitter would need to attach to the lip, and that just wouldn't work out at all.

Really guy??? While I respect the opinions of everyone, it is hard to do it when people come back with the smart a** replies. I am sure if someone has 20 sponsors its not a street car, I am not trying to build a race car. I just wanted to see if anyone had done the plywood splitter + diamond lock lip.

[slow40]

any pics of the items that you are talking about? Not necessarily on a car, but what are you exactly meaning by diamond lock lip? didn't mean to offend, just trying to figure out what you are doing.

[romerider153]

diamond loc lip disregard the whole in my bumper
