you'll be better off going with Verus x ft86speedfactory splitter, they're actually functional and come with installation instuction.

starstruck splitter is very flimsy and come with no pre-drill holes or instruction, I've ran it on my FRS before I wouldn't say its "actually a functional splitter"

Well it always depend on how you fix it, some just put 6 bolt to the bumpers and call it a day lol.

For my part i have over 14 bolts holding it to the front bumper and to the frame so shit is on there solid.

Yes you have to drill your holes but the verus runs like 200$ more and you only have have holes and instruction more, which it doesnt take a college degree to install it is VERY easy.

What i like is that if i hit something i can bend it back to its original shape because its made with alumi composite(or whatever its called), it doesnt break compared to hard plastic, even if its "heavy duty" with the cold temp we get here im sure if i hit a little something it would crack.

I think the way i have it setup it does the exact same job than the verus but i have no data to confirm.

For my parts i really like the quality for the price I paid and i would rather support a small canadian company than a US company since im canadian

I would def get the Verus diffuser tho

How it attach is up to you, you can put some tap screw and call it a day but i dont think it would do its job.

I personnally put some nuts and bolt on the bumper and on the frame, it takes more time but well worth it.

For the side splitter i only used some self tap screw

UPDATE: installed the Radium pcv catch can and master cylinder brace.. is it me or it is realllly tight where the catch can is sitting because of the harness? I mean it fits but hella tight (thats what she says lol)

Also i have my ft86motorsports oil cooler sitting around just waiting to get installed, along with the shifter bushing and mtec spring but ill wait to get the car on the lift for those.

And im waiting on my rear LCA from ft86ms, my DSG fortune auto, Verus rear diffuser and hood louver and perrin steering lock to come in
