What do you mean shortening the sides?

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

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

Keep in mind airflow for trans and diff cooling.

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.
