I used a template from "MC 2" ( thanks again ) to load on computer and after a few trial paper patterns cut it out on the CNC machine. I used 3/16'' Black ABS Plastic which is textured on one side and smooth on the other. I covered the smooth side with carbon fiber vinyl. I used 4 turnbuckles just to be different but may eventually take them off as I think it looks just as good or better without them..I also covered what I could on the turnbuckles with the same vinyl to go along with my blacked out chrome look. Lastly covered the front edge with some black trim edging..

4' x 8' ABS was $60 and I was able to cut 5 splitters out of it. I hope to be able to sell the others to recoup some of the cost to mine.
ABS plastic $60
Turnuckles $50 a pair
Carbon Fiber Vinyl $90 might be able to cover 2 more though.

 

NIce job, but 2 turnbuckles too many for me - maybe go with none to give a cleaner look.

 

i like it. good job. what fixtures did you use? longacre?
id be interested in possibly getting a copy of the template if you might be so kind?

 

Very nice.
I agree turnbuckles 4 is to many. I think it would look good without any but 2 would give assurance of it staying where intended.

 

Just made one of the sweeter R52's even more sweet.

 

Saw this yesterday - wish I had taken a closer look! Grrrr....

By the way... I think I want one...

 

2 turnbuckle looks better... that what i ahve on mine...

we have the same splitter....

 

Hmm, what's your price? I'm interested in one...

 

Can someone drop a link to the carbon fiber splitter supports I've seen others use? I'm getting a splitter for my cat soon and I'm toying with the idea of using the external supports. These look interesting - if I weren't getting a carbon fiber one I'd definitely be interested in these. Thanks!!

 

Here is a link to the turnbuckles I used.

LOL...

 

 

Nice work !

Where'd you get the CF sheet from ? I remember there was a vendor on here awhile back selling them but cant remember who

 

PM's sent to all with questions..
Carbon Fiber Vinyl came from Tape Works in Raleigh NC

 

Looks good the only thing that is a little weird is where you mounted the turnbuckles. I like the way the ones on the drag MINI look...

 

I like those also but I wanted to put them in areas that if I took them off you wouldn't see the holes as bad and or I can cover that area with black vinyl..
The ones in the grille can't see and the fog light area I already have black vinyl in there, so I would just fill the hole with alittle putty and recover in vinyl..
