Thanks Tex. Yes I've been scoping out some industrial parks lately that I've measured the lots at around 800 feet long total & very wide. Should be enough to let her rip!For Speedruns, it helps reduce the turbulence under the front of the chassis.
PS: since it's Brand Spanking New street Basher...
Make sure you find a BIG obstacles-free (No concrete light pylons, parking islands, parking stops, curbs, many parked cars, or little kids/pets) parking lot for your first outing..
It Needs lots of space for you to set her loose!
Yeah, they don't do much in the way of preventing dirt ingress, they're really just to improve the aerodynamics under the car. The wheel arches from Scorched, they do a decent job of keeping some of the refuse out of your car and reduce how much you're cleaing out by a considerable amount.
Which aluminum plates brand are those?
I checked out Scorched, The arched ones look good. Do they end up wearing thru, grinding on the pavement?
I assume you're talking about the infills for the front and not the wheel wells/fenders (because unless you're driving your car upside down a lot with no body, the fenders never make contact with the pavement).
Honestly, there's really no need to get the scorched ones as they're easy to make yourself. Pick up a sheet of polystyrene, polycarbonate, aluminum or whatever material suits your fancy and go to town. An easy way to get a trace of the contour where it bolts to the chassis would be to just lay a piece of blank paper over the area and then lightly skim over it repeatedly with the broad side of a pencil lead (I believe the technique is called hatching?).
Absolutely! I have several sheets of ABS haircell I use to make rc components out of. I made a front splitter for my 3s Infraction. I could definitely do the same for the 6s & trace out the pockets for the infills or make a cardboard template & make some. Thanks man!Thank you gentlemen /tip of the hat

You end up with something like this. Cut it out, transfer it onto your work material, grab some shears, Dremel or angle grinder and cut the rest to look something like the shape of the Scorched infills or whatever suits your needs that will allow the wheels to turn as far as you need them to.
I'm sure there are far more elegant ways to do something like this but this part doesn't require any great degree of accuracy as tolerances are pretty much a non-issue with something like this and I'm a big proponent of "as complicated as needed but not as complicated as possible".

How did I miss this? Or did I?
I don’t recall seeing this project. Perhaps I did and those brain cells that processed it are officially MIA? I was considering doing the same for my Lim but I didn’t have enough CF on the sheet so I just used a set of the Scorched infills that I had on hand. Nice work, and certainly much better for aero!
Thank bro. I wanted one of those full length CF chassis so bad but I really could justify the the 350€ expenditure as I still have an intact "normal" sized GT chassis that nary has a scratch (I highly recommend picking up some of that cheap, transparent vinyl film at the hardware store that's intended for shower doors and stuff like that and putting a layer over the bottom of the chassis. It may not seem like much in the way of protection but it's more robust than you expect and I think it's done a lot to keep the CF looking as good as new underneath. Replace as needed. Totally worth the $5-10 for a roll of the stuff.How did I miss this? Or did I?
That's perfect. My pleasure man, glad to be of service.
I’m looking for two sets for my infraction and felony. I’m willing to pay any extra shipping. I’d love these
I found a STL. Like that & with fins. Still need?
I got them off eBay some years back but cannot find the person who made them. I am not listing them anymore just looked.
