LOL Simon... Can never be too big. :cheers:

That's a rudder lol

Or road kill slicer

After being around the Formula cars for years you get some crazy ground effect ideas

My rx ran rubber from rhe body kit right to a few mm of the ground and damn that would suck down on the road and grip at high speeds

Shame the man would crucify you for it here it looked mad , damn laws haha

No problem Simon...

I'm just waiting for my bracket kit to arrive and then this will be fitted to my car to finalise the fin lengths and make sure there square.

I have a car for trial fitment but will post pics once finished.

Bought some prepreg carbon sheet and made my own add ons a while back as the stock fins were a little ratty on the outer sides. Definately suits the rear diffuser!

Just have to trim the forward edges down for a little more ground clearance, that's about it.

this is quite ugly if you ask me lol

Bare in mind these are plugs, the moulds will be made way oversized. This way they can be made to any height depending if people want race only items or street use.

Can't please everyone..

where can you buy the sheet from? and how do you cut the sheet as good as you have?

Most performance shops should be able to get it in. Got mine from UAS, it's the real structural stuff.

Cut it with cutting wheel on an angle grinder and used a tension saw to cut the smaller angles, then a quick brush with a file.

Don't breathe in the dust!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
