Interesting, a bit over the top, but if executed right it might be kinda cool. Definitely aggressive, hard to tell how good it looks from the pics though. And all the crumpling under the bumper will be hard to remedy. Keep going!

Im with jackie, but by all means, keep it up. I always appreciate custom mods like this. Also, what tires are those dude?

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnascar, nascar..........I don't like it for my car but I don't dislike it either. Parking blocks, road debris, potholes & such will be your enemy.
 
Painted the lettering myself. It's a pain in the ass haha. Very time consuming. The trick is to use a paint pen and then go over the edges with a black sharpie. Have to do it every couple of months. Kumho ecsta ku39 are the tyres. Great grip wet and dry.
I've had the splitter on the front for a while now. It's just the side winglet things that I want to put on. I'm going to cut out the front fenders as well and then work on the rear diffuser and I'm getting custom brackets for a GT wing as well. The splitter is made of aluminium composite material which is very light but thick and strong. And real easy to work with. I'm getting mixed reviews on it. Personally I love those side things but not everyone else is keen.

I'm conflicted.. I like the idea of the splitter and the large "canard" but not the wheel surround. The whole thing doesn't really seem to fit the P5, unless......you had a wide body :)

Lol if you make it I would love to buy one!
 
I want to eventually compete in world time attack. Hence the big front splitter and the canard. I'm going to cut the front fenders too, to ensure airflow from the wheel arches and under the car. Then I will do a bit more to the side skirt, then a diffuser and a rear GT style wing.

Picture is my inspiration

That's the 4 rotor Mazda MPS

This is what the splitter already looks like. I made it about 2 months ago. The winglettes are already on the side. By the way the splitter goes back to the firewall. Only has cutouts for the manifold and the sump. Need a vented bonnet now... sigh** :D

Just remove the weatherstripping along the back of the hood/bottom of the windshield. Boom, hood vented.
