Awesome. Thanks. I'll mess around with it tomorrow and see if I can make it more resemble the way it's supposed to.

 

Nope. No joy. With the edges screwed into place along the wheel well, there's no give for the splitter to come any more forward than it already is, so even if I could completely remove it, drill new holes and mount it back up in place, the action of moving it forward so the front sticks out past the front bumper, makes the edges that are supposed to secure to the wheel well end up being too far forward and don't even enter the wheel well.

Does that make sense?

 

That makes plenty of sense.
And no surprise really, since the part was engineered and designed for a different vehicle with very different measurements and tolerances.

Kind of like someone sticking a Porsche whaletail spoiler on a VW Bug.
Well maybe not that much like it.

 

Yeah, I'll just leave it like it is and be happy with it.

 

I will post a step by step next....

 

Red marks are where your ovaled holes need to be made. I use a dremel.


Blue holes are made for adapter and holes in the adapter.


Adapter is now mounted to the splitter.


Cut a piece of weather stripping... see pics I poster yesterday for pics of weather strip


Weather strip goes over the holes made by the factory

 

Here is the weather strip....


Here is the weather strip on the splitter....


Here is a front view of the splitter installed


Here is a top view

 

Can you shoot a pic of where it attaches to your wheel well? If I move the splitter up to where you have it marked, then the areas that attach to the wheel well don't reach the wheel well.

 

I'll get a pic when I get up. The splitter fits the wheel well just fine.

Worse case... send me your splitter and I'll fix it for you and send it back to you.. just a thought

 

Thanks. Here's my problem. If I move the splitter forward so it's not flush with the existing bumper cover...





...then this will be moved forward as well and won't fit anymore. It will be too short....

 

Im going to my club install day and my car will be on the lift, so I will take some pics for you and I'll post them when I get home this afternoon.

 

I completely removed the splitter and the angle of this piece is the same on and off the car. Either I have a different bumper cover than you, or I have the wrong year of splitter. That's all I can do.
