Prefacing this with the fact that my car is primarily track oriented. Anyone have any experience or ideas towards creating your own belly pan? My stock one is junk and I'd like to make one myself that somehow works with the splitter. I'm looking at getting some of the Quick release splitter support systems ( Professional Awesome Universal Quick Release Splitter Support System - Professional Awesome Racing - Time Attack and Downforce Specialists ) so im able to drop the splitter whenever i need to. Ideally the splitter would be able to drop down first, then the belly pan via fasteners or bolts. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
 
AJ just made a full carbon undertray for the GT350, but it's just a copy of the stock unit. The tricky part about the GT350 is all the coolers and ducting up front and trying to retain that while also integrating support for the splitter. I was looking at the PA quick disconnects, but couldn't find anywhere on the front of the car I could implement them where they didn't interfere. It may be easier to implement the quick disconnect in the rear, or maybe find a way to adapt them, but below you can see the mounts I ended up making to accommodate the engine oil and transmission fluid coolers. I still had to notch the brake cooling ducts to get everything to fit.

Hey Flyhalf,
Where do you get your material from? In the pic above, it looks like 1/2' think plastic/derlin. Wondering where you get that stuff. I've got a template of a splitter from another car that I'd like to recreate but don't know where to get the supplies.
