Ye the quality is very good. It might be a while before I am able to install mine unfortunately, gotta find time to lower the car first.

From the looks of it...do you really have to take off the front bumper? Looks like it could have been done without removing it.
I did mine without taking the bumper out

1. Drill 3 holes in the splitter
2. mock up the splitter against bumber with tape
3. Using a felt tip pen, mark the poistion of the holes onto the bumper
4. remove mock up
5. Using the drill, drill the 3 holes in the bumper (becareful of the washer pipes in bumper, just move them to the side with 1 hand)
6. attach 3M to splitter
7. attach splitter to bumper
8. screw in your nuts and bolts

How many of those metal fasteners came with your screws? Mine were floating around the box (not inside a baggy) so and I turned the box inside out literally looking everywhere and found 8 screws and 6 of those metal fasteners, no nuts. Am I short two fasteners?

yupp, i had 8 of each.

mine came in a bag so its was all intact.

maybe you can try to find some online or in local hardware shops.
i'm sure they shouldn't be too hard to find.

but please let us know if you find any online for sale. =)
i don't know what they're called.

I did mine too without removing bumper. I just turned wheels to opposite lock and lifted one side of car at at time. By turning the wheels to opposite lock it gives you room to get the cordless screwdriver in to mount rear screw. (wheel well)

Did my install today.

Unfortunately I drilled a hole in one of my washer pipes!

Was trying to rush as I was losing daylight, and forgot to move it out the way!

Looks like it's one piece as well? Guess I'll have to order up another one from the dealership. Guessing that won't be cheap!

The actual splitters installed fine. Remember to use some tape on the bumper before drilling holes. That way you can mark the holes with a pen, and the drill bit goes through much cleaner.

I went with taking the bumper off for mine. Mainly because I had the LED fog lights to install as well.

If you do remove your bumpers, be careful with snagging the bottom tabs up. Mine were bent over inside the bumper! Luckily I managed to free them without any major hassle. Was a PITA trying to get everything up top back in place. Meant I forgot to check underneath before I bolted everything back up.

Looking forward to seeing them in daylight for the first time!

Good luck guys!

Default 3 pieces

This is the 3 pieces installed..

Note:

Only the centered piece came with carbon fiber..

I had to carbon fiber the 2 sides.. and then added 4 clear coat layers.

Nigel-JDMParts has them. Both the 3-piece you see above and the splitters from the OP.
