the reason i ask is i was looking at some racing photos of ets and ats tc series and the front splitter seems to be very "thin" compared to the cut lines that are molded in the bodies. it looks as though the sides may be cut in the right places but the front has been cut higher for more ground clearance.
what's your thoughts?
Most of the time I have the body trimmed to the cut lines and mounted, I make sure the nose is solid and has little flex, use a third mount to keep the hood from sagging. Then with the tires on the car (ride height set) I run a sharpie around the body to see how far out it is, which by all accounts is about 4mm more trimming.
