thanks guys, but.. lol thats not the issue.. its already drilled and its very easy to tighten the splitter to the car while the bumper is off the car, but how do i tighten the bolts up as they also have to go through the oem holes on the bottom to hold the bumper in place…

ie to attach the bumper to the bottom lip in this pic.



hang on, just looking at Ships picture.. have you guys made 2 sets of holes in the splitter.. one set for mounting the splitter to the bumper and one set also in the apr for the oem screws to hold the whole assembly back to the car???

is that how you guys did it?

That is exactly how I did it. 3 of the oem bolts were not long enough to thread in with the splitter spacing them a bit further from their threaded holes, though, so I left them off.

I think it's possible. It'll just sit a bit lower than if installed on a stock bumper.

Did you guys get the shorter of the 2 10mm support rods, or the longer? On APR's website there's 2 versions, one goes from 6.5" to 8.75", the other goes from 8.5" to 10.5"?

It looks like they supply the shorter one with the splitter. So I would stick with the shorter one, unless you are interested in using extreme angles (mine is perfect IMO - most people usually go a little less extreme).
