You can do anything you want with it.. just go slow on the cuts as it will melt.

Under the rocker, just before the rear mudflap, there is a plastic fairing that slightly curves downward in profile view, is your splitter also following the curving downward?
Really appreciate your ingenuity.

Yes.. that is connected to the mud flap. There are 2 screws on the bottom. I took one out, bought an extended screw (in the parts list on the 1st post) and used it to pull the splitter right up to it.

To your point, it slopes down just a bit in the back. I think it makes it flow better but you could remove that piece if you wanted.

Wouldn't the width need to be different for WB vs NB? And the WB side sills may not have the same hole alignment since that entire side of the car is a different welded piece on WB vs NB.

I agree.. my guess is this will only work on a nb.

If someone has a wb in Columbus Ohio, we could try if you supply beer. The concept should be the same

How I wish the car and me were at Columbus now. I'd be the first to bring beer at your doorstep.
