I used sheeting a little less than 1/8 inch over a wood frame
Nooo I didnt whittle down a 2x4 either..

Next Ill fill all
the seams & edges & see about getting it primed & sealed.

Thery dont stick out tofar either, there only about 1/2 along the top
edge. The one on front is for the drivers side & will go on just like it sits
the front cap is angled back while the cap on the other end, towards the rear wheel is straight.

whittle "PORSCHE" across each of them, so you have the embossed effect

actually, i was thinking if those are hollow centered, you might even be able to fill em with polyeurethane self expanding paintable foam . it sort of an idea ive been knocking around for a bit but havent had time to play with or look into to much, but the stuff is moldable, sandable, ect, and i think it would be good stuff to experiment with ...

Not crazy about the materials, but I gotta say that splitter came out looking pretty good.

Where's the skirts, man?
