DIY air splitter*** mod
well, I got really bored over the last few days,
and since its been below zero, i cant do anything on the miata.
so I figured I would take this time to take off the stock air spliter thingy
which is made out of this plastic stuff, and make one out of aluminum
i bought 36"" by 36"' (inch) sheet of aluminum
19 dollars
i got one can of primer
3 dollars
one can of red paint
5 dollars
total = 27 dollars
traced the old one onto the sheet with a sharpy
cut it out using a combo of garden sheers and a dremel
drill holes for screws/etc
sand the edges down so its not stupid sharp like a huge sword
prime
paint
enjoy<--in progress,, way too cold to go outside to put it back on
pics of process i took for ***** and giggles
comment away
on car (i grew ***** and went out side it wasn't as cold today)
