Why does your C5 have a C6 logo on it?

cutout the final design
splitter is almost ready
mounted the piece and "tension" mount on the behind the bumper (not visible) to make it sturdy
mirror finish vinyl wrap the piece

it was original owners idea, bought the car with it on, i just never got around changed it back to C5 badge,
I am planning on painting the whole car real soon, and get the badge holes filled then not run a front badge at all

Looks good. What materials did you use for the splitter and the "inside" support? (I was a bit taken aback by the number of fasteners you used on the underside.) Also, whose hood is that? It sort of looks like the ACP hood, but without the additional side louvers.

thanks for the compliments, much apprecaited
thanks man
its made out of 1/4 inches thick Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
thanks, hahaah yup I over did the whole fasteners thing. I could have used alot less fasteners but its the first one I made so made sure its sturdy as possible. Instead of using "tension rod" to on the front like most front splitter, i had them on the back,
my good friend has been experimenting with carbon fiber/kevlar overlays I might just have him CF this thing to make it even more nicer, I will also correct the fastener when i have time wrench again
the hood is a full Carbon Fiber ACP World challenge,
ABS with carbon fiber vinyl wrap
c6 badge looks nicer but i love cars badgeless better

Very nicely done. Will check back to see if you post up where you got the material.

Ebay sells all kinds of ABS sheets. I've bought 4'×8' -1/16" sheet for rear liner extensions. 1/8" thick sheet for battery den cover. Let me search and I'll post my finds. Great job on the splitter. Looks awesome.
