*Finally installed my DIY side splitters and front splitter 05 GT content

So ive been wanting to build my own side splitters and a front splitter for sometime now....I wanted both for just looks as I love the look on the newer stangs and Imo there just a cool little add on that can take ur cars look from stock to lets say fast....lol....


In all seriousness its just a good look for about any car and so I decided to build one....not everything is perfect but it works and I have a few ideas on how to improve it for maybe a little neater instal next time, cutting the alumlite with a jig saw is not the easiest so my curves are not exactly smooth rounded but no one so far says they can really tell it.

What I used

1-8x10 sheet of alumalite sign board picked up at local sign store for $84

Had them cut the side pcs 75x6 1/4 inches so they would be exactly straight no extra cost

I used card board to trace out my front Cv2 spoiler and just moved it up for the correct length amd trimmed down the sides

I bought a set of turn buckles from local hard ware store 5/16 $2.59 each
Bought two eye hooks for the upper mount about $1.70
Bought some stainless steel bolts and nylon lock nuts to attach everything $6
For the sides I purchased ten self taping 2" screws to go all the way up to the body amd used ten self taping small screws to add extra strength to the side pcs $4
On the front I used about 15 fender bolts from my parts ben. Needed a few long ones for the center and basically attached them from the bottom all the way through the bumper cover using some flat long pcs of metal as a washer on top to spread out the attachment on the bumper $0


I took one side of the rocker ground effects off so I could see what was there to attach them and then I used it to measure and trace out the inside of each side splitter

I made the brackets on the front of the splitter out of square alum


Thats about it....turned out pretty good I think...I painted them with bed liner paint so far so good and actually looks like plastic now..hopefully ot will hold up to the rock chips etc..

And I actually do believe the splitter may be catching some air and creating down force on the front as I drove the car at 80-90 mph yesterday the steering wheels seemed to be tight as if possibly the wind is causing the car to push down towards the road causing more complete tire/road contact....maybe my mind? Lol
