Didn't want to hijack this other thread, but previously mentioned my curiosity on it...https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...package-3.html

Not that it needed any downforce in the front or anything(it's already a heavy car to begin with), wasn't sure how it would look or turn out but here it is. It turned out better than I thought, at least in person. For aesthetic purposes only I suppose...

 

The extra downforce should help if you drive it at full speed. It felt a little too light to me.

 

Actually looks pretty good, how was it to put it on? (pretty damn cheap, tempting)

 

I really had to fabricated it, i didnt use the cheap hardware that came with it. Bought some 1 1/4in Truss Head screws, composite shims, and to make them rigid...bought steel flat bars to brace them, cut them up in the proper lengths and drilled holes into the bars.

I used the existing holes underneath to place the flat bars...and a second hole out towards the front of the vehicle and into the bumper where it is shimmed. Shimming is required, otherwise the lip would slope upwards since the bumper is shaped that way. That would be two holes per brace/bar. So roughly $20-$25 worth of hardware from home depot.

 

Pictures or it didn't happen

 

Composite Shims

 

Cool, thanks

Nice work

 

Now you just need to get some sideskirts with a carbon lip to match 😁

 

I was thinking the same...but man, I promised myself, no mods other than wheels. Here i am...

 

Haha always the way!

 

Just some notes to those inquiring or curious about the install...

Use the most rigid flat bar that was available at Home Depot. I used steel but the aluminum may be easier to cut and work with(but not rigid enough for me). Most are around 5-6in, which is basically the distance from the first existing hole to the front of the splitter. The second screw towards the front of the vehicle is the part where you cringe and make a hole into the bumper. This is also the shim locations and becareful not to make the second hole too far towards the front of the car(missing the bumper entirely). Otherwise, you would have unnecessary holes on your splitter. Not to mention, it will be visible. You would want the shims slightly tucked in anyways. Do not use brute strength to tighten these screws. It's only latching on to a plastic bumper

You would need some way to cut the flat bars and drill holes into it. Becareful when drilling, it could bind and spin the entire bar, making it a human-size blender blades, cutting your arms/legs off. Cutoff saw would be great, and a drill press that can clamp the flat bars down.

Definitely do not want to use just double sided tape, I don't think it was possible with the 970.1 Turbo bumper since it slopes upwards. You would want your lip/splitter leveled, straight enough that it doesn't follow the slope of the bumper. Shim it to the slope you like, use multiple shims at areas needed. Non Turbo/GTS bumpers might vary a little. Not entirely sure about the 970.2 bumpers.

The longer screws used below is required, the existing torx screws are too short to grab on with the hardware in place.
Finally, the Door/Window rubber seal...i used it to add thickness to the splitter and stuck it around the front edges of the splitter. I found it fairly thin looking without it.

Here's a list of hardware I used.
Flat Bar(2-3pc)
Truss Head Screws
Washers
Composite Shims
1/4" Window/Door Rubber Seal - this is to add thickness to the look of it, it looked fairly thin

 

Nice update, hows it holding up? any fast runs with it in place?

I would probably go with this https://www.onlinemetals.com/en/buy/...tural/pid/1061
instead of steel, could run it thru the mill and shave the sides down to a .25"

 

Yep, did some fast runs but in short bursts. Seems to hold so far. Took a peek underneath and noticed a little rust on the bars, not much. I should've painted them to help prevent that.

Also thought about that aluminum U-bars or L-bars, but thought it might snag plastic bags or trash that comes across its way. Plus from far away, you may see it sticking down from the car. Unless you line the splitter with larger Window/Door rubber seals to hide it

Forgot to mention, i also put into consideration when removing the cover underneath and or the bumper for oil or when servicing the car. This install shouldnt interfere and would come off easily when needed.
