LOL, Yeah it didnt last long

. Interesting you had the same experience. As a temp fix I cut & installed a plywood undertray w/ no lip for my next event in 2 weeks

Yes Sir, it was fully bolted to the underside of the bumper cover. I used wood blocks to space it down so the splitter was level to the ground.

The failure was due to too much load on the splitter at track speed (145mph down the straights)

On to someone who knows what he's doing.

Here are a few pics of one of our EVO brothers in the UK who fab'd up his own canards. Check out his build in my Sig. One of the most complicated & sophisticated EVO builds on the planet. Almost all the work done by Clive himself
