Aerodynamic Mods
For the life of me i couldn't find any pictures of the front of my car in direct sun light so i had to use what little crappy photo shop skills i have to make three photos as bright as i could. Here is the outcome of it so i hope you all can see what i mocked up from some plastic pieces to my liking. Not the best but it was my first time trying something like this, i later went on to make sides and part of the back as you can see in the last picture.
The 'lip' under my custom lip is a $10 Home Depot / Lowes garage door sealant lol link bellow

I did a few more for practice and viewing pleasure (at least mine)
These pics are where all taken by someone else at the *2nd Annual* Nor-Cal 'Sac meets The Bay' Meet/BBQ of 4/20/13. Wife said to delate the pics cause she wasn't 'ready' in them, so i found another alternative haha
as you can see the nose pokes out a good inch..i personally like the look
and this is how the sides and rears turned out
Quite sure there's not much aerodynamics added with these but they are pleasing to the aesthetic aspect of the cars exterior

I think your car flows really well.

I eventually made some other plans last year really similar to yours while keeping the theme of my initial drawing.
Love what you came up with!
One I did for the TL-S rear:
I still want to do this:
I had a revised drawing of it too. But accidentally spilled coffee on it =/

interesting question, if these splitters are attached to the bumpers, wouldn't they only flex the bumper from the downforce if a front splitter applied too much force I would imagine more force would go to flexing the bumper than to applying downforce?
but my splitter is framed to easily support my fat ass and much more.

^^^ THIS
in layman's terms, you cant just attach it to the bumper, you have to support the splitter from/with the frame...
ditto with the rear wing, this generates a lot of downforce, just attaching it the the trunk wont do shit, you have to bar it all the wayy down

I would be so in to build the rear diffuser. Does anyone have measurements yet or does this need done? I'd gladly sacrifice the time to get a layout down on paper.
What would we build the material out of though? Plastic would be ideal, if we could find a way to get like the oil pan cover type material.
