ISF two pieces front splitter Problem.
I have a 08 ISF trying to get the front splitter like this
but thing is the bottom of the front bumper is a slope upwards. Ones installed the splitter will point upward also and looks funny.
May I know is there anyone did this to their car also? please post some picture or explain how.

I too have the Autotecknic CF splitters but when I placed an order for the predrilled one, I got splitters with no holes...? Well regarding you situation. I believe you are referring to the tab at the bottom of the bumper closest to the wheel. I filed it down to make it flush so the splitter doesn't have a gap or angle. You could reuse the same screw/bolt from the part that you filed down, just make a hole, In my case I had to make a few and used nut, bolts, and lock washers to hold it in place. Mine are still on the car since I mounted them, but then again I rarely drive my car, 1-4 times a month. Hope this helps and GL bro!

The splitters are a good cheap alternative IMHO. I won't feel too bad if they scrape. They look great if you ask me. There is a slight upslope but not enough to really notice. In face, that slight upslope is the only reason I go into or out of my driveway without scraping.
I also used the pre-existing screw closest to the wheels, and then drilled out three more in each to support them evenly.

Some people like to mount them so that they're sticking out quite a bit from the bumper. To me, that leaves them a lot more likely to crack during a hard impact scrape. If you decide to get them, I would recommend mounting them so they're "tucked in" if you know what I mean.
