you can also just go the eyelet method. i used a threaded eyelet with a big finder washer on both sides of the material plus a a nut on each side so i can adjust height.

do all the short, random posts qualify towards your post count? The rules make it sound like they monitor that stuff (though I doubt anyone would take the time LOL).

I saw on instagram that wasp composites is going to make some carbon fiber front splitters for Evo 8/9.

They are, but they have put them on show cars so far, and have yet to make one that is a useable size.

lower the speed the bigger you need to be useful, just like how you need more wing angle to make the same df at lower speeds.
