DIY front splitter, cost me about $120 total, still needs work but seems to help

I need a paint job, or I'm thinking a flat black vinyl wrap (yes just like everyone else)




some outside pictures, I'm no photographer but it gets the job done (i think)

its a dc5 replica mugen wing, I'm on a single dad budget LOL! But it does seem to really help in long fast corners the most

Parts list for the splitter include:
plywood
bondo
sanding (alot)
black underbody paint
black bumper coating paint
"L" brackets
cable and tensioners

all bought at local home depot

The idea behind my splitter is that it can be ripped off at the track with out the worry of replacing a really nice expensive piece of carbon fiber, kevlar etc. And if anyone is gonna tear off a splitter its me haha

track prepped R's are hard to look at, but you can't see them anyway when they're zipping around the twisties.
