Customer Notes:

The carbon front splitter was homemade. For the splitter rods, we drilled holes through the carbon for the clevises, then drilled into the front crash beam and mounted them in the pictured locations for chassis support. We wanted the splitter to be as rigid as possible, so we fabricated and mounted our own steel brackets off the front lower “sled” brackets where the horn and fog lights attach. We removed the horn and fog-light hardware for room, airflow, and weight reduction. Choosing the right locations for the quick-release attachments took the most time, but we’re very happy with how they mounted in the end.
