    Looks wonderful though I'd call it a 'lip' vs 'splitter'. ;)

    Thanks! "Lip in da house" sounded too funny for a thread title. Besides the website I bought it from calls it a "front spoiler".. all very confusing.

    Looks nice. It seems to project forward a bit more than the SS lip.

    Lip looks great! Are you going to put the mesh grill on?

    I already painted it satin black. Kinda like the look of the 512TR lip.

    It has about sixteen small holes along the bottom of the splitter. I attached it to the bottom of the bumper with flat head allen bolts and nylock nuts. I counter sunk each hole. Very solid.

    Hey that's cool. After I destroy my current SS version I might swtich to this less expensive alternative. Can you show pix of how it is mounted?

    I didn't take any pics of mounting it but it was easy. The bumper was off for minor fiberglass repair. The splitter has about sixteen holes on the bottom and I just fitted on the bumper and used flat head allen bolts with nylocks to hold it on. I did have to drill the holes in the bottom of the bumper.
