Anyone install the APR splitter without the support rods? Pics would be great. thanks

 

I would like to know the same,, where would be the best place to mount the rods if you have to

 

You could probably do it, but I would suggest against it.

 

I bet it wouldn't last one 70 mph run in a headwind

 

I wouldn't do it unless you add some additional bracing to the underside.

 

We installed a stillen splitter without the supporting rods and I have taken a trip to chapel hill which is 2.5 hours on the highway at 75+ the whole time and its just as good as I installed it,.

 

^ cool. Pics? I assume you just drilled a bunch of holes along the splitter and bottom of your bumper and used nuts/screws/washers/etc?

 

Anyone know if support braces are sold separately....just thought of making my own CF splitter

 

APR sells support rods separately for $55 on their site. I'm sure one of the Vendors on this site would be able to get you some as well.

thanks bro!

 

I would advise against this based upon first hand experience. The APR splitter will flex under pressure at high speeds and can cause severe damage to your splitter and/or bumper. The splitter is designed to project forward from the bumper a few inches and this portion WILL flex at high speeds.

 

Damn we'll be twins before too long.

 

Close, 100mph did it for me.

 

Proper placement will depend upon the shape of the bumper and splitter. IMO, you would want to mount the braces at the point of greatest downforce on the splitter or where it is susceptible to flexing.

 

lol.....I was thinking of a slightly different design.....maybe one for the rear like that blue M3 at HIN Orlando..... just an idea though....
