Anyone fab up their own side splitters?

Going to purchase either abs or pvc 3/16" X 4' X 8' sheet and see what I can come up with. Just seeing if anyone else has tried and succeeded in making them. If so. What dimensions were used?

I had at one point years ago made a couple of sets of these. Along with front splitters... I gave the ends alittle bump out just to keep it from looking like just a cut flat sheet. Which it really is of course.. I don't think I have any of them left.. Here are a couple of pics from when I was doing paper & card board patterns before CNC cutting them... Well, pics are not attaching..

Trying again not sure why they don't show up. It claims they are 100% loaded before I click reply and I've posted tons of pics over the years here..

Anyone want to see will just have to go to My Gallery on here and look thru my pics. Sorry..

What are the point of those "Splitters" on a street car? Just looks I'm assuming?

good question. I should have been more clear. This is in fact a track car. Or at least when I'm finished with some other upgrades it will be. Splitters and air dams to come. I just like doing my own work cuz when stuff brakes I dont want to rely on outside help.
