Splitters are NOT for street cars, PERIOD.
Plywood does NOT work "perfectly fine" either. Plywood is NOT strong enough to hold up to the forces that a PROPER splitter sees. I've got more than one buddy that made himself a super awesome plywood splitter only to have it rip itself straight off the car at high speed on the first trackday. It also wears EXTREMELY quickly. REAL race cars don't even use plywood for wear strips because it wears too fast. We use a produck called Jabrock, which is plywood impregnated with resin and compressed at high pressure. Yeah, that's not cheap either. Plywood is NOT strong enough, and it does NOT work fine. It is ghetto, cheap-ass, backwoods, redneck bullshit.
ONLY in the 240sx "community" is fashion valued so much higher than function. ONLY here is price valued so highly over pride.

Since when is any aero on a drift car actually for downforce. What planet do you live on where you believe any of us drifters actually care about the aerodynamic effects of the cool shit we rivet to our cars.
