Default Splitter... to reduce some damage

I got tired of scraping the front lip from going up driveways so I made a splitter. My supplier didn't have black at the time so I had to order the next closest color... Grey. But I will be wrapping this one matte black. This was a 4x8 sheet of 6mm PVC board used for signs. Took about 20 mins to trace the bumper, cut with a jigsaw, sand the edges and install.

If you know someone that owns a sign/printing shop they can get it at cost for $35

Splitter looks fantastic, your ride looks incredible! Any plans to sell additional splitters? I'm going to need one for my next SC.

Looks good. Did you decide not to sell the SC?
