      Nothing wrong with a wooden splitter for proof of concept, and to be fair it looks very well done. It's a decent size, well sealed to ensure it doesn't stall or bleed of air and raked in the middle to reduce pitch sensitivity. As for mounting, etc. that I can't judge, but I guarantee it is better than 99% of shitty lips on cars which are purely asthetic

But I have noticed this aero dynamic error at so many cars especially the angle of your car's front lip it should have pointed down at the end to keep the front pressed downward than being levelled which makes the front bouncy because air is switching between lower and upper of the lip. Most GTIs have rear spoilers below the car's highest...
