What do you guys think? Looks pretty decent to me.

that is wetsuit material. If you can find some wat to affix it to the splitter, it will help fill the gap. Over time, the rubber will get dried out and cracky, but you will have extra of it and can do it again.

Be very careful. I have tried several rubber seals for my STi splitter and my big ebay TMIC and all of them melted to some degree (some worse than others. I have since removed all of it except the seal on the front.
