I'm sure I'm not the first to punch the turnbuckle support rods of their APR splitter through the front bumper after misjudging a driveway transition. I finally did it after years of pussyfooting around curbs and speed bumps.

So, I decided it was time for a serious support upgrade. I purchased some stainless sailing turnbuckles and 5/16th's Heim joints. This time I attached the turnbuckles to the bumper support beam by simply retapping the existing bolt holes.

I'm pleased with the results. A simple twist of the turnbuckles actually makes a difference in the splitter's angle. To remove the supports, just take off the clips and pop the pins out.

I've placed the APR support rods in a few of the photos to illustrate the difference in size. They're definitely overkill. Flame away.

 

I like it

 

sweet. color pics please!

 

oh d@mn....

 

looks great

 

Are you going to let me stand on your splitter now? .... Looks good, question is, is this going to make you faster at the track?

 

looks good man!

 

If I get any faster, you might lose hope altogether.

 

I love how it looks! well done.

 

I wouldn't worry about that, Mr. "I don't want my Brembos to turn brown" ....

 

Duh, that's because I want them pretty when they go on the GSX after I get the 12-piston caliper brake upgrade for my Evo.

 

Wow i need to upgrade my rods 2 looks great and i bet is not going anywhere now lol.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing it in person, I may want to go this route instead of putting holes into the front bumper and it looks extremely secure! Looking good as always!

 

your headlights look sweet

VERY NICE!

 

Looks sweet!
