Modified front diffuser to new 08 ACR look

[treesnake]

I kinda' thought the diffuser was a little large for the street. (Especially street clearance.) Cut off 1 inch all the way around the outer edge and two inches in the center section. I really like the new '08 ACR splitter and sort of adapted the look to my splitter. It helps on clearance too. What do you think?

Before...

After...

WOW!!! Do I have to pay you a copyright?

I like the agressive look of the hood with the vents and the "bubble" shape. Does that mar visibility at all?

It is a modified Autoform splitter. It is an addition to the fascia. It is
"luon" (sp?.. 3/8 thick) plywood overlayed with fiberglass. Then painted "rally black"

Hey Baz
Did you ever get a set of rear diffusers for your RT?

I will find some. I have photos of the splitter before it was installed somewhere...

 

[treesnake]

Thanks for the compliments. Wasn't sure how it would turn out.

Actually that is my new ultra lightweight, see through hood. I just cleaned it. It's really clear don't you think? And those Corvette guys thought they were cool with that little see through window on on the new ZR1s'....

The first photo is of the supports that hold the splitter. It is basically a nut welded inside a piece of square channel. It is attached at the top at radiator core bracket by hood latch. The second photo is of the splitter before it was installed
