car splitter or 1/4 which is better 5/16
-
1/4" for aluminum, 5/16 or thicker for ABS. I've seen a couple of the DDM plastic splitters that have been chewed up badly and fallen off. I believe theirs are 1/4". Could be wrong though.
-
I think that theres is 1/4...I was wondering about 3/8. I saw a couple made from plywood!

Metal works better with how often the front of these scrape.
-
I have an extension hood...it makes it lower to the front end!!! I was wondering about some HDPE? Can I use this? 1/4 inch?
HDPE would work fine and is somewhat light weight. 1/4" or thicker should be fine. I think Metricks and one of the custom shops in Florida use white HDPE for the their ground effects kit for the Slingshot.
Oh, also Kyle D and ZZP make an adjustable hood extension kit. That's what I'm running and it has a fine tune adjustment to keep the hood from hitting the front splitter when fully opened.

Yes, with 1/8" you will need the support bars or the front will flex so much at highway speeds that it will make contact with the road. If you don't want support bars like in my picture then you would need to go thicker.
