APR CF front wind splitter

Well got a new goodie installed today. CF front wind splitter from APR performance. Took about 2 hours to install or so. Haven't done much driving or adjusting. But at 80mph on the highway it really seemed to pull the front end and make the car feel so planted. But It could be an illusion. Who knows lol.
Just thought I'd share. And I don't need any bashing for the rods mounting into the bumper and not a solid piece of steel. (Sorry for ****ty phone pics)

For anyone who has had this... I've seen it without the support bars. Are they a requirement?

Did you mount the hangers to the car or just the bumper?

Depends on what you're using it for. If you're just driving around on the street, or showing the car, then you likely won't need them. If you're planning on tracking or doing anything where the splitter may be able to generate some usable downforce...then yes, the support rods will be necessary. The only issue I have the APR splitter (aside from the fact that it barely extends from the bumper) is the fact that it mounts to the bumper. Any splitter that's going to create significant downforce should be chassis mounted, because at high speed you're going to notice the bumper start to sag a little from being pulled down by the force. It's a decent entry level splitter though.

Why wouldn't you use them? Helps level it out. More support (even though it's mounted to the bumper) and it looks better with them =]
