Time to man up and make it out of carbon fiber.
I picked a thicker aluminum sheet for safety reason and therefore they are fairly heavy. The whole package weight approx 60lb (front splitter, flat under tray, rear diffuser). Phase two design will feature thinner aluminum and CFRP. Should be able to cut the weight by 15 lb. Good thing is most of the weight are below roll center so it won’t impact the handling much.

Carbon fiber is too dangerous and costly to use on those parts. I want material that is cheap, easy to replicate, but still be able withstand impact from flying debris. ABS plastic and aluminum are the best options.
