I'm sure it is...Do you think 1/4 inch is stiff enough?

I'm sure it is...
GREAT IDEA!It's only like $150 so i think i am going to replace mine with it. I have still been too lazy to take off and paint the one I have on there now. HDPE is not paintable, but comes in black and 8 million other colors.
I have to say though, I am so glad I made the first one out of something clear. It was so easy to drill all the holes when you can see through the substrate. I had to drill bumper holes, holes for the frame rail attachment points, you get the idea. Now, I just take this one to them and for $25 bucks, they cut it to exact match of my current one.
I saw that a TruCarbon CF front chin splitter for 2010-2014 mustang can be had for just under $400 shipped, which is considerably cheaper than the FRPP kit but the TruCarbon doesn't include the mounting hardware. Did you ever look at or consider CF for your MY? JTS, I like the look of your custom one in AL.
Thanks, I appreciate that.My experience with TruCarbon has always been top notch and their parts are CF through and through.
I was only asking because the weight of various materials came up and I'm not sure where CF fits in with HPDE or Acrylic. I believe with CF you're getting less weight with added strength vs aluminum but at a cost.
And you know, I have a hell of a lot of respect for someone home engineering their parts. You need to be creative, intelligent and have patience. All great virtues.
Thank you Chris. They are installed now and I'll have the car out Monday.I'm willing to bet money that the TruCarbon "splitter" doesn't extend under the bumper at all and is purely for show. It might go to the wheel well, but I'd be surprised.
I love following your build Fabman, especially those lovely fender flares. I'm keeping my eye on those.
Thank you Chris. They are installed now and I'll have the car out Monday.
There will likely be plenty of pictures of those flares up close and on track.
Stay tuned!
dang, I left the keys at home....sorry.The fender flares look good! Bring it to Sonoma tomorrow and I'll shake it down for you.
Thank you.Absolutely magnificent. These will be my new wallpapers.
