Agreed with smoothing out the frong a little and shortening the sides, but so far, I like what I see!

What do you mean shortening the sides?

That way when you drift you'll be a giant, ankle-slicing blade.

On a productive note, how are you attaching it below?

A factory clip on each end and self tap screw into the frame every 6 inches or so.

Any other feedback?

I was actually thinking about doing this myself. With mine I was going to have a full underbody tray along with the side splitters easily detachable front splitter and built in rear diffuser

Already ahead of ya. :)

Keep in mind airflow for trans and diff cooling.

Yeah I had that in mind, not really sure on how to work with that other than cutouts maybe

Would it be worthwhile to put a vertical bit at the front of the splitter, to hopefully tame or redirect the turbulence coming off the front wheel well?

Also, is it better to have just a side splitter, or an entire underbody panel?

I'm adding a small fin at the front.

All different aero works best if it's a complete system, however it is also stand alone.

Not for the trans or diff, incorporate them into your panels.

I'll only work in aluminum unless I don't have another choice.
