It's the ebay splitter. You'll be seeing a lot more of these popping up soon. They're cheap and look good and fit well for aftermarket.

How rigid is it, any flex? Looks like you may have some drag issues with your car being lowered.

It's fairly flexible from corner to corner but the front edge isn't going anywhere now that it's bolted up.

incompatible I'm assuming you mean clearance issues, hitting it on a few things... that's why I went polyurethane over CF, ABS or FG it' took some mud and yuck like a champ the first night I had it on!

Got somewhat excited over this and after searching couldn't find anything for a facelift car.

So I got the wheels back from powdercoat Thursday evening, the suspension isn't settled in the first pics but is in the rear shots. The weather was threatening to bleh today so I parked it, I'll get it cleaned up and snap some proper photos soon enough..







a little hipstergram...


From the back after some driving and settling

Glad the wheels went to a good home, it looks great! That's funny I was going back and forth from the gunmetal to white but went with gunmetal since I'm lazy and didn't wanna clean them all the time LOL. Cheers to the Guinness posters also!
