APR Front Splitter install (the right way)
I really can't wait to see how this performs at high speeds. I don't drive the car to much in New England winter's...so I am kind of hoping for a quick January and February.

Awesome dude. I have my APR splitter sitting in the livingroom. Hopefully, i'll have time next week to have mine installed. Thanks for the write-up!
Im convinced this happens from improper installation and thats why I started this thread to begin with.

I got the same splitter for almost 2 years now, the rods didn't do it for me. I also went and bought nuts and locks. I got this rods custom made Pricey for 2 it was roughly 120 dollars. I ordered 4 because i was going to get the back diffuser and well waste or money i never got it lol
p.s. after a few months u will see that the splitter will put a gap on ur OEM lip on both ends. I also put 2 bolts and screw on the back 2 holes that way it helps holding it up.

looks great! I'm with Flipboy I wonder if it is the same with the APR bumper. Def looks good, i'd be afraid of soemthing hitting it and ripping it off :? That's just me tho.

its easy...if you want to cut your rear bumper... ours required the removal of the charcoal canister and removal of the rear tow hook.
ill make you another if you want, we are finalizing the strake sizes and orientation.. we have done lots of aero study on ours.... and we did calculations on where the diffuser should start to rise and at what angle...
the front diffuser is proving to be quite a bit more difficult, since its not just flat

Check out mine. If you have at least some common sense, you can mount the splitter any way. Just use a lot of support.
As far as breaking, this splitter is very durable, (the reason why I have a CF lip with the splitter because I went off the track, it ripped my stock lip off, but the splitter was fine. Just the rods were ripped)
I'm basicly the only evo with APR splitter and Buschur lip

you are going to be able to stand on my front undertray, and when the bumper comes off, it will still be in place
