Default DIY air diversion panel

so i was bored at work (nothing really to do yesterday at all!) so i figured i ould get paid $30/hr to make something for my own car! (i have no supervisors during my shifts) anyway i took a piece of cardboard and made a rough trace then fabbed it onto some of our teflon sheet. i then started cutting and drilling a couple drafts till i got everyrything alogned. i originaly had it going all the way across, but it was a pain to deal with the hood bumpers and prop rod, so i cut the ends off and im happy.. anyway its not greddy, but it was free..



ph yea, this is still kind of a rought draft, im going to clean up the hood latch hole and then make it out of a sheet of CF. thanks for looking!

Not too bad! As for the sides, you could probably just angle them to a point NEAR the hood bumpers... so it looks like this:

Seriously if you can keep it from warping then you have something worth selling

Try making rev 2.0 and extend it out. Just doesn't look complete with the gaps on the side, ya know?
