oooh chaotic on the splitter....i dont think its a good idea in that pic i was only lowered on s-techs. and i hit a dip on the freeway home from that same meet that picture was taken at on the freeway and the spliter cracked and came off n shattered on the freeway. That splitter literally lasted me 1week. So if u do that mod i highy suggest u raise your car up in front to like a 2 finger gap lol. once again good luck with your project!

I picked up another 8 bumper a month ago to do the same thing. Thanks for the motivation!

Looks good, I've been toying with the idea of doing this to my VIII as well. only down side is I'll have to source a IX screen for it.

i so wanted to do this but i just got my bumper and everything repainted on my car so i'm not spending the extra money to get it redone. rock chips and stuff are bad around the mississippi bridge with all the trucks going across it.

Nose chop does look bad ***, but it feels like its missing something? Maybe some mesh in the open area?
