Yes but for us heavier guys, we overheat the tires on the corners and get passed on the straights, hahaha

For those who arent board of this tread by now I managed to do a few fun things today. I started by color sanding the passenger side of the car then buffed it up (a polishing machine and the correct polish is soooooooooooo much easier than doing it by hand ) I was about to start the drivers side when I thought I should do something a bit more gratifying. So I cut a few graphics and applied them and then trial fitted the splitter for the first time. Whilst it is no where near finished as I need to do the checker design to blend the fender to the door you start to get the idea!

Overall I am pleased with how it has turned out

Thanks Brian for the meatball offer, but the doors are white and I have got a design in blue for the meatball which will contrast better.

Do you think that it will stand up as is for racing or do you plan on reinforcing the underside. I broke a bunch of the AIR splitters last year and need make a change.

I think I am going to modify it and add some balsa underneath. At the end of the day its fiberglass so it will not stand up well to a meaty hit. Lets see.
