Custom splitter with OEM mounts. Made of 3/8in ABS - pretty durable, it's mowed grass at Thunderhill (East & West) & Buttonwillow a few times without any major scratches lol

Not difficult but would cost more than just buying the one I made.

Oh yeah I suggest you make your own, the price companies charge for splitters is absurd... Look at any NASA, SCCA, Tike Attack, USTCC, etc event and every splitter is made of Alumalite. It's definitelythe best option for more use-cases.

I'd 100% go with Alumalite > solid core Alumalite > carbon fiber > plywood/ABS... ABS flexes a lot and requires many mounting locations to hold shape over 100mph

I went to a chain "sign-o-rama" store for the Alumalite and it was $50 for a 18"x6ft sheet which I then cut to the back of the front bumper and it extends 3" from face of the bumper for Redline/GTA street class rules. I'll probably make another more aggressive one soon (they're fun to make IMO)

I'd say $100 for Alumalite with cheap hardware and $140 with higher quality hardware / bracketing
