Air Dam Solution for Front Splitter

For those running front splitters like APR, do you have an air dam to fill that center gap (sorta like the M stache)?

Pretty sure Ian or Ron had a solution to this, think it was a piece of lexan that fit in-between the splitter and the bumper, about and inch thick.

My brother and I both bought the ones made by Ian back in the day. His cracked so I ended up making a new one from some flexible house trim you can source at home depot. Its easy to cut, paintable and very flexible so it easy to install.

I also ended up making up both lips to go on the leading edge of the APR splitter from the same stuff. Looks a bunch better then it being raw and adds a bit of meat to the splitter. I'll take a pic of what I did tonight.

4 year bump, finally going to mount my splitter that’s been sitting in the garage all this time. Anyone else come up with an air dam solution?

I've been fooling around with idea of using some HD 1/4" rubber conveyor belt I picked years ago, very stiff but still flexible, the wind won't deflect it but a solid object would.
I'm thinking of using it as a vertical dam, if the bottom contacts the road surface it will just wear a bit off the lower edge, it's flat black.

I was thinking of using one of those ez lip or all fit lip kits. Pro being it’s easy to install/trim; con being it’s so cheap and flimsy.
