hah yeah. The other way of doing this is way more labor intensive is getting formers foam from a crafts store and gluing it to the bumper and shaving it down to a shape you like then fiber glassing it over for a mold. pop it off and clean it up then boom. you have a front lip design.

Me? I'm probably gonna buy deliverances S front bumper lip and then fab up a splitter

Yeah, that does sound like quite a job. It reminds me of the old skilled plasterers that made crown moulding with material and a trowel. Or, even those plaster ceiling fixture rings like in the old Victorian I used to own.

Anyway, this job is turning out to be a lot more involved than I had expected. As they say, "In for a dime, in for a dollar". I'm going to do the best job I can and hope it turns out ok. The next challenge...fabricating end caps. The more I think about your initial suggestion about cutting from the middle, the more I now wished I'd tried that even though it woudn't be without its challenges too.
