APR Splitter fitment help

Hey guys. Got my APR splitter on. Everything bolted up pretty well. Haven't installed the rods yet. But I'm trying to get this to fit better (see picture)

The splitter is putting so much pressure on the sides that it's pulling the bumper/fender connection down and looks like **** to me.

All of the bolts are tight

Looks like it's doing it's job. Any way to make the connection between the two stronger? I would bet something simple like some zip ties would close that small gap.

Years ago, installed the APR & was not keen on how much air load it sees

Tore if off at the track at speed Unless the rods are secured to the front crash beam or other steel member it will not hold

Regarding the gap, maybe you need to get the quick disconnect kit which ties that joint together

Does that quick disconnect kit work well, improve the load carrying capability of the bumper cover?

Im sure it does / Watch this

I went old school & have an exterior bracket that offers up a lot of extra support. My EvO is more track prepared than yours so the hidden bracket would be best for you
