Yea Tofu, I'm down for whenever you want to install these. I've got tools, just need a place to do it as I'm still living in an apartment building.
Brian, If you bring Cindy's car over to where ever we're putting them on, we can test fit them to her car and make sure it'll clear the 5axis lip.

Update.
All six splitters in the first batch are fully roughed out. They still need to be sanded and painted, which is the most arduous part of the whole job. Each splitter needs to be sanded through 3 grits, primed, and painted. Just advance notice: I only paint the outer 8" or so, and only the top (only the parts that show). The rest stays bare plastic (which is of course, all black.) That's how I did them before, that's how I'm doing them now.
All of the hardware has been portioned out for each splitter. The hardware for the splitter rods (and the rods themselves) are standard, so you'll need a 1/8" hex and 3/8" wrench for that; for the rest of the hardware, you'll need a 4mm hex, and 10mm and 17mm sockets. I'll have a full rundown of what tools are required when I have the splitters shipping.
One of the splitters sold to a sort-of local buyer, and I will be installing for him; I will take pics to help the rest of the buyers with installation.
To the two buyers from Washington: would you like me to ship yours together to help save you money on shipping? As it's an OS3 package that doesn't weigh a huge amount, I'd guess two in one box will be the same of a few dollars more than just one.
I expect to ship them around this time next week, and hope to be able to install the one locally this Saturday or Sunday. It's currently 101º here, and my workspace is not air-conditioned-- I can only work in the morning and the evenings, and between 6 splitters and the 3-4 regular orders I'm putting out each day, I'm working 8-10 hours a day trying to get these finished.
To anyone who didn't get to buy one: I will be adding them as a sale item to the website shortly, once I get a better idea of what average shipping will run. They will be available for single purchase, no need to wait for a group of buyers.
