    Negative on that axle line, David; it can go back to the front edge of the wheel opening.

    Always read the rules for yourself...


    8b. A front spoiler/air dam is permitted. It shall not protrude beyond the overall outline of the body when viewed from above perpendicular to the ground, or aft of the forward most part of the front fender opening. This body outline does not include bumpers or bumper mounts. The spoiler/air dam shall be mounted to the body, and may extend no higher than four (4) inches above the horizontal centerline of the front wheel hubs. It shall not cover the normal grille opening(s) at the front of the car. Openings are permitted for the purposes of ducting air to the brakes, cooler, and radiator. Dealer installed or limited production front/rear spoilers/air dams/ wings are prohibited. The spoiler shall have no support or reinforcement extending aft of the forward most part of the front fender wheel opening.

    NOTE: Integrated bumper assemblies are defined as those designs where an external non-metallic bumper cover completely encloses the primary energy-absorbing bumper and where this cover could be installed in its normal position with the underlying bumper removed. On cars with integrated bumpers, the front spoiler or airdam may be attached to the bumper cover. Where an air dam/spoiler is used, two total openings may
    be cut in the front valance to allow the passage of up to a three (3) inch diameter duct leading to each front brake/rotor assembly. Where no air dam/spoiler is used, two total openings of a maximum size five (5) inches by seven (7) inches maybe cut in the front valance so that brake ducts can be added with a
    three (3) inch diameter hose leading to each front brake/rotor assembly.

    c. No part of the car, except for the exhaust system and suspension components, shall be lower than the lowest part of the wheel rims.

    What's a couple inches. Like I said, my car came with a splitter so I haven't had to fabricate one yet and it's hard to visualize how far it goes back sitting here in front of a computer at work.

    Read the rules. Greg is watching.

    by this it looks like you can't have any mounting points beyond the front wheel opening...

    "b. A front spoiler/air dam is permitted. It shall not protrude
    beyond the overall outline of the body when viewed from
    above perpendicular to the ground, or aft of the forward
    most part of the front fender opening"

    From this, I would say that it not only can not mount beyond the wheel opening, it can't extend past that opening....

    See ya'll at Daytona...
