ok so i know i made one in the general forum but i feel more comfortable asking you guys questions. i was just google searching the idea and came up with thishttp://www.s2ki.com/forums/ind...50262

it seems like a good idea and i was wondering if anyone on here has tried it. i'm going to attempt it next year because i plan on attending alot more autox's.

there are some pretty good ones throughout that entire thread. plywood is also hella cheap.http://www.homedepot.com/webap...02501

Your link is broken...

Please, no plywood. Sheet metal is cheap too and a much better alternative.

You can do it with plywood, they are just pretty heavy at the thickness needed to be worth a dam. You would be better off with sheet metal.

You could just learn to do your own fiberglass work, its not that difficult.

i'm still gonna do it. yeah it may be ghetto but wood can be treated and painted. it's also alot cheaper than aluminum. if i could find some decently cheap aluminum i'd give it a try. this splitter would also not be on daily it would only go on when i go to an autox.

If you know of some metal working shops, ask them to pick thru their scraps. I bet you could find a piece of aluminum or steel that could work for a small tip.

Regardless, do want ya want...

Where did you find your GTi-R T28??

Not only should you not create more then one thread, but this has NOTHING to do with KAT at all...

and it's so gay I have to go drink 30weight oil to unghey myself. Plywood doesn't belong on a car, if you do this mod, post it on Hondatech and keep it off Nico.

That is all
