Love the apr splitter and being the 2nd sold makes it feel line I'm an original modder.


Gold heat wrapped the intake and an hks filter. Feels like it res just a tad smoother. Still plan on an upgraded radiator and oil temp, water temp gauges. Trying to squeeze the most out of the stock engine.


Radium catch can. Prevent blowby at the track.

You're really one of the only cars i've seen with the APR splitter. It looks great. Did you notice any actual performance benefits at the track? And do the rods just mount to the bumper?

Just to the bumper. No real way to get them to the frame w/o making ur own bars and taking the bumper off would be a challenge. I can say that my under steer is completly gone though.

I was thinking of getting the same one but I thought I would have to remove it in the winter.

The standard kit with stealth black inter cooler. The thermostat option was not available at the time of purchase.

On a side note, picked up a decent tool box at work for 65$ new. Not bad for a grocery store lol.

Get some coilovers on there ASAP. Your splitter and diffuser will work soooooooo much better. Needs new wheels and tires as well. You'd really tear up the track then.
