Splitters installed temporarily.....

[danewilson77]

Got the holes drilled......just to take my time....and have them installed with a small 1/4" gap along about a 6" portion on the rear. Both of them are this way....and its just kinda how they fit.....

So....I will probably have to beta-link the top edge....and make it permanent. Its only a bumper...whicj in my book is a replaceable wear surface....kind of like a bushing. Temp pics below. Only positive comments welcome...lol.

I like 'em on there, DW.

Kind of a cool symmetry with the bra.

More importantly, how do you feel about them?

[danewilson77]

I like em.......I just need to get em installed sat. Thats all. The holes are drilled.....and they aren't going anywhere....but I don't want any gap......and I may end up going black......and going jointless with a lil body filler.

I like where your head's at.

Good plan.

I was gonna say something really mean, but since only positive comments are welcome.... :biggrin

I think it looks great Dane! I also like the symmetry with the bra. And that's just a great sentence no matter how you slice it.

I hope the install goes as planned and you're pleased with the results. I look forward to some good close-up pics.

[billschusteriv]

+1. Do you have up close pics or will you do a thread/DIY after you fill the gaps?

[jjcools]

Can you take a profile shot? I want to see how far out they poke, sure I am going to get them or not. I think they might stick out too far for me.

[danewilson77]

I will take close up pics. I will write a DIY when finished. I will do all the work....in my garage....in true DIY fashion. I will take a good profile shot tomorrow.....

The closest I have for now is below....

I like them but wish they were Imola Red.

[Johnmadd]

I think a black hood, mirrors, and door handles may set it off, maybe too much but I dunno.

[az3579]

I like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I agree with the black hood, mirrors, and door handles, but I do not agree with painting/changing what was painted from the factory.
Looks fine as-is. I can't see the carbon fiber; I'm seeing black, which is why I think it looks awesome. Not a big fan of CF. It looks out of place to me...

BTW, your sig needs a fix. I see an extra IMG tag lurking there. :)

[danewilson77]

Thanks AZ......

Yup...I think once it is permanently installed and completed...I will color match it. I like it being black down there. Just what I see.....thats all. Black hood, missors and door handles.....Ima have to think on that a bit.

I am sure someone PS saavy could make that happen pretty quickly....

Thanks, BP. I fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks good Dane!

I still gotta get mine painted, they're sitting in my trunk....

[Mtnman]

+1 on bringing them in to the imola red. I like them, but i love the molded look of out bumpers. Those being black make them look like and addition to the bottom of the bumper, and not part of the bumper itself. I like the one piece look......

[Mtnman]

Cant wait to see the progress.

[MasterC17]

Looking good! I like the Black/Imola Red contrast.

[az3579]

Looking good! I like the Black/Imola Red contrast.

+1000. Contrast!

[danewilson77]

Yeah...I'm big on contrast too fella's Thanks for all of the support in figuring these out! LOL............

Looks like sometime stole your car and defaced it.

DWmobile just doesn't look right without racks...

[danewilson77]

Opinions of rack or no rack please. Thank you. I can see who's on here right now....

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I like the rack.

[danewilson77]

Ima start a poll where people can weigh in......I'll just throw it over in off topic.

[SC4ME]

Doesn't everyone like a good rack? :shifty
