This template is 1.5" tall at the wheelwell & 2" at the front. Parallel with the rocker & ground. Fine for these rockers that I have but too low for the stock GT rockers. I'll have to raise it up 1/2".

This template is shortened to an 1" & 1 1/2" front/rear. I will settle for this height as the lowest common denominator for all applications.

A negative of the nose bottom side was fabricated to become the mating flange surface. After fastener points are established the flange will be trimmed to a 2" perimeter.

Template of nose profile being tranfered to 3/4" MDF.

Fender flares would be needed to cover the open wheels.

Upper & lower halves are bonded together, then the gaps are filled with urethan foam.

Hey Amida, I saw your post in my build thread and remembered you were building up a chin splitter for your front bumper. You have some great skills! I'd love to build a splitter for my chin spoiler, yours looks great!

Check out my build!

Another idea for the use of Grandprix/Solstice combo lights. Bonneville type upper intakes added, but probably not necessary since steel chassis is directly beneath. BTW, this is a widebody.

With your spoiler already scraping the ground there isn't much ground clearance left, but you can cut a piece of 1/4" ABS and attach it to the spoiler.

I've looked into that, but can't seem to source out a good place that sells ABS sheets that large around here

Probably not available at a hardware store, but all plastics dealers/distributors will carry.

guys,
i have dealt with tap plastics for a couple years, they sell abs sheets 2x2 2x4 and probably larger just email them and ask. they have always treated me well and the prices aren't bad either. plus you can order and they ship it to your door (for a price of course.)

I've done business with a couple TapPlastics in my area. I don't think they are in Canada, but if you look in the yellow pages for plastic suppliers you should be able to find a source. ABS would be ideal since it won't shatter on impact like acrylic would.

A little more tweeking on the latest front end. Rounded outer corners of turn signal pockets & added flush 300zx headlights. Not bad.
