Weapon,

What did you use on the upper side to secure them? The end that faces the center of the bumper is out further than you may want as they will certainly catch more air being out that far. Realizing that all of us put these on for esthetics and not being functional, not sure I would be comfortable with them that far out. Of course, this is only my opinion. Looks great though!

This is exactly why the splitters cracked (and broke) on the other thread. It was too much downforce for that skinny splitter.

Splitters look great Weapon F.
Although, I would strongly urge you to add some larger washers to spread the force on those bolts.
Are those bolts with nuts or sheet metal screws with loctite? I would use nylock nuts with large washers on the top as well.

Yes, you must use large fender washers for sure. The largest ones that will fit would be best.

since joshhleee just PM me on how mine are holding up. I figured I'll let everyone know. After a year of being installed. Mine are still holding up well. Looks like the screw placement was just right.

But i'm not willing to spend $470 for splitters...might as well buy an entire front lip for a couple hundred more.
I did spent the money........i like it a lot.
