Ive been thinking about making an air splitter up for the front end of the Z. Something more like an IROC/Nascar style one. This goes along well with the D-window nascar style wheels I am looking at right now. The mock up is just cardboard with a little silver paint on it. The tape represents where the turnbuckles made from spherical rod ends would go. Plans are to leave the splitter aluminum with a clear coat or maybe even make it from stainless steel and forget the powdercoat to avoid chipping. Let me know what you guys think.......should it be silver for contrast or body color, should it stick out more to the front. Any other suggestions?

Tom I'm not sure what I think. It could be :cool: , it could be :woot: . If you do it, go bare metal at first & then paint it if it looks wrong.

Some people think I'm out of my mind, but in my defense it's pretty scary in there!
