So I have some extreme strong plastic sheets I'm going to use to build a splitter on the bottom of my ACI splitter...it will go all the way and smooth the bottom of the car...the problem is...I'm not sure how to secure a flat sheet on the bottom. Has to be sturdy for at least 180+MPH...I know alot of you have the ACI....any thoughts?

Build some metal brackets and secure using either 82 deg flat head screws with flange cup washers or (worst case) button head screws and large flat washers. The point is to minimize the disturbance to the airflow caused by the screw heads. Be sure to use thread lock on them.
