Customer notes
The bumper was never removed for the install. Two holes were drilled on each side of the frame crash support brace for the quick-release mounts. The splitter rods connect in a triangulated setup to the same mounts.
Initially tested at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway at over 110 mph with no issues. The customer noted they can comfortably stand on the splitter without flex or issues.
