Did you design the front intakes and splitter using solid bodies or surfaces?

All solids. I've inquired about the old solids vs surfaces argument and only gotten the reply, "it depends." For what I'm up to here, solids work out best. As I understand it, with surfaces "infinitely" thin, they'd need beefing up before I could export them to .stl. It's just easier to work in solids as I need to be aware of scale thicknesses as well as modeling thickness (areas where it doesn't matter and I can go thicker).
