UPDATE: The "AndrewTech" STi 6-speed transmission cocktail I ordered has been delivered! Looks like I'm going to be putting that in the tranny before I wrap up all the work as well.
Please say a few prayers that it helps with my terrible synchro grinding issues. If not, I will be quite disappointed that I spent $100 on that stuff while also draining out $75 worth of Amsoil tranny fluid.

I REALLY want a splitter! Why not make the splitter and the skidplate one piece? If i could easily find/transport a big enough piece of aluminum, that's the route i'd go. Attaching it is the real pita. Remind me again, are there front "guy wires" or whatever they're called, and where do they attach?
I just have SUCH a long list of to-do for the car:
Get logging with the AFR working again
Maybe replace AFR sensors
Log (its been too long)
Install wideband guage
Fix brake ducts
Do the 60k service
Oil cooler install
Get an alingment
Gold-tape the engine bay (i think i've had my kylon "experiment" tape for a few YEARS now)
Check the PCV block off thingie that'd by the TB
Re-route the AOS hoses (they hit the hood)
Diagnose/Fix ABS problem
Fix wiring for EGT gauge
And then there are the OTHER cars that have long lists too.
School is killing me.

There are stainless steel support rods for it, but if you have it supported with enough bolt, they are not as necessary. I'd have the Batmobile up to about 140 with no support rods with no issues.

If you had one huge piece of aluminum cut to that size and shape it would be retarded heavy. That is unless it was super thin.
For your reference, [MENTION=652]Grinder34[/MENTION]...
The skid plate is 3/16" aluminum (it might be billet for all I know because it is pretty heavy for it's size). The APR splitter is 1/8".

Take note: See that rolled up chunk of foam insulation in the middle. That is used to seal up the splitter against the bottom of the intercooler. The 04-05's bumper isn't flush all the way across at the bottom. The "bumper splitters" (plastic piece next to the fog light covers) extend below the bumper and do not connect in the middle. This leaves a gap that air can flow through and that 'could' cause the splitter to catch the airflow like a kite and rip off the car. The foam helps build that high pressure spot in front of the intercooler rather than allowing high velocity, low pressure aitflow to go in between. That's the theory anyway and I didn't want to test it. So I bought some foam insulation from home depot, rolled it up real tight, zip tied it securely in the roll and jammed it in between the splitter and the intercooler. It's been like that since 2011 and I sometimes drive like a maniac, so take it as you will...
Take a look at this picture. There are two things wrong here.
#1 . Holy @#$& that bumper support is incredibly rusted. Water must be getting trapped in there.
#2 . See the top set of teeth on the intercooler? That is where the top of the bumper fits down to. So all that space on the IC above the teeth is behind the bumper which gets ZERO airflow. WTF? How did I not know this before? I couldn't have forgotten, could I?
I've NEVER had high intake temperature problems, so maybe it's not big a deal. Idk...I don't like it.

It was painted black. That paint flaked off in sheets just before I took the picture. I'm going to sand and paint it with a rust stopper.

Do you know if the drain plug bolts for the tranny are reverse threaded? I can NOT budge them. I dont want to be turning them the wrong way. 
One of them is already getting damaged.

Fuck my life. I'm afraid if I pull any harder I'm going to yank the car off the stands and kill myself. :shock:
