Now drill through the plastic undertray and the splitter. Bolt it up. I would use a fender washer on both sides...

This will allow a hard mounting point from the structure to the splitter that is hidden, but can be access through the kidney grills....

I like your idea of using the two existing radiator mounts but I don't like cutting the undertray. This way no cutting is involved and two holes in the bumper structure will not weaken it appreciably.

I have not done this. It's just a thought......
Nice, I like the idea.

Being able to adjust the rear support rods through the kidney grills and not cutting the lower engine cover would be a plus. The way I have done the installations I have to raise the car and remove the lower engine cover to make any adjustment. It works very well, but not something I could do on the fly @ the track.

Let me know if you go after it.
