Onshape is free and what I use. The only stipulation if you don't want to pay is that all your work is public and can be accessed/copied by others. I messaged you on IG (Saltybeast) and my offer still stands to share the models with you if you'd like.

Quick thought, what reasons are there to have that splitter so short and not go back further towards the front axle? The oil-pan is pretty low right, but you can cut around that. The reason I ask is because we've seen yuge gains on CFD data from extending the bottom of the splitter back as far as possible, on multiple chassis.
We've(9LR) been testing several materials on our NA/NB miata aero packages. 1/2" polymer coated birch, 10mm alumalight, and tegris have seen the best results. We've settled on 1/2" birch coated with...... "rocket nozzle" polymer It requires less mounting points than alumalite and just a tad heavier. Not too far off weight after we did some stress-testing on the birch and removed the material...
Also, very relevant to this post and forum. E30 wáng kits are actually ready: https://9livesracing.com/products/e30-big-wang-kit
Kinda reminds me of Line-x? I wonder how line-xed plywood would holdup... or is that essentially what you're doing?
Yes big wang kits are definitely of interest... I was eyeing the "builders kit" as I'd like to make my own mounts when the time comes...

NA/NB are the only splitters we have currently,we're looking into other markets as well. We also offer a PDF template for those who wish to DiY the splitter with their own material. It's pretty close to that, lol. Something relatively inexpensive, holds up to weather/sun, and somewhat durable. Bed-liner or similar polymer is pretty popular, which helps costs.91' 318is 90' 325is

Necro-Bump for this thread. Anyone know the legal width for an E30 wing in NASA and SCCA?
NASA Super Touring rules only have a width restriction for ST4. (We'll be ST3 by my calculations.) Height is limited to 8" over roof line
SCCA GCR 2021 calls out 65-5/16" for most classes. Height seems to be all over the place.
I measured the car width as 64.2". Internet sources call out 64.4" - 64.7"
So, I'm thinking 64" wing from 9Lives with an adjustable mount, flush with roof (18" rise) or 6" over roof (24" rise).
Thanks

I wouldn't go over the roof, And that wing doesn't look to efficient posted above.
Thoroughly tested and race-proven wing elements available in custom lengths with custom mounting tab design and spacing to fit existing wing uprights. Downforce and drag data for each wing design is published to help you make the best choice to suit your needs.

Nobody makes a "frame mount" wing kit for E30s unfortunately. The trunk seems strong enough to support this sort of installation.
I have a Bimmerworld V3 carbon wing (65" wide, 18" uprights) and it's mounted the same way. I can more or less hang on the wing. The trunk is pinned tightly (hood pins in front, latches in back) to take up any slack in the trunk seal.
