      Update part 1 - Making of the front air splitter

      Like most people, I started by making templates out of cardboard and thick paper.

      After that, I pulled the splitter off and started taking some measurements. I transferred those measurements into Autocad and sent the file off to get CNC cut out of ABS.

      After a couple weeks, it showed up looking exactly how it should.

      From there, it was mock up time.

      I got as far as getting the side skirts mounted and got 2 of the hinges on (yes its a real adjustable splitter). Still need to get the adjusters and make 2 more outside mounts. But it is starting to take form nicely! While I wait for the adjusters to come in, I am going to trim and smooth the side skirts and finish them off with a fresh coat of paint.
