Re: 6LE splitter concept.
I see what we are up here after looking at everything.
After looking at INTIMIDATORZ splitter is about the best.
After reading INTERNALVORTEX'S comment about the splitter running up hill because of the slant on the sides, I tend to agree.
That's why NufNuffZ28 did what he did to correct the slant towards the front.
By extending the front of the nose, he was able to overcome the slant and make it flat or a slight angle in the back, which is what I been told from Car Chiefs that's what they are looking for.
I have seen any other splitter that looks good on the third gen, I could extend the lip like I have seen some do, but I think the best thing i have saw to date is what DBLTKE did with the garage lip material...

Being that nose is longer than newer cars, we have to deal with scrapping when we lowered the car, so I'm just going to lower the car a little more and add the BDLTKE treatment for now, I am still doing the splitter it is in route.
What started all of this was stability/understeer at the rear of the car, the front sticks pretty hard, With wing and the diffuser, and a sway bar change I am hoping for some resolve, if the car picks up a oversteer, the I'll need to look at the front end a little harder.

Re: 6LE splitter concept.
Bought a universal splitter to carve up for side wings for the diffuser, I put it up against the nose of the car and wow, there is potential here for sure, I will play with this, I have two front lips so I can one with the rubber lip previously mentioned, and the other one with a splitter, I have some ideas to follow.

Re: 6LE splitter concept.
FWIW, my car picked up almost 2 mph in a 1/2 mile run with the splitter installed, so it does help. 163-165....

Ok, if you have a idea for splitter shape, modify the pic and repost. ....

Re: 6LE splitter concept.
Maybe I can attach it to the lip, and have the lip and splitter detach vis dzus fittings underneath? Nice when you sent me that email, I was looking at it this morning thinking one piece, hidden fasteners... 
That's one idea, only 1999 more to go and well get there!
