We tried to think of everything; but things do pop up from time to time. I believe for the most part the crash beam mounts will stay out of the way of any oil cooler and intercooler.

Thanks for the compliment, we tried to come up with something that is an all around solid product for a relatively affordable price

Installed my race upgrade on Friday and it went fairly smooth except it took me much longer than the 2 hours the instructions suggested. I was one of the original owners of the splitter so I had to use a template to drill the holes for the fins, which worked fantastic.

First impressions:
I absolutely HATE the red anodized rod ends.

I'm considering either painting or plastidipping them black along with the bolts to attempt to make it a touch more subtle. I'd rather find a source for black anodized rod ends so if anyone knows where I could procure a set that would be fantastic.

I was concerned with bottoming out with the bolts protruding below the splitter and the fins but that concern does not appear to be a valid issue for me.

The splitter is definitely much more sturdy with this in place and I purchased the upgrade as an insurance measure to prevent any future issues with the splitter potentially meeting the pavement. The lower bracket support is a nice added touch and dispite the warning to not stand on the splitter, I had to give it a go myself. 180lbs here and absolutely no deformation!

Thanks to eric6 for the fast turnaround on the template for the modifications to my splitter and I'm looking forward to any future products you might have.

Looks great. Wish we had time to get this on our car. Soon though once we get it back from fabrication.

Some people love it, others hate it. I'm sorry, to keep costs down we stuck with the QA1 stocked color.

We have quite a few parts in the works that I think the community will hopefully really enjoy

. Some really big stuff in store from us.

Back on topic... had to share this photo a customer sent me. Likely has post processing done but its just a beautiful photo of a BRZ, the splitter, and the car at speed on track

I am on the verge of ordering the splitter but dont want to run it full time. I understand the splitter is mounted with rivets and screws, so it looks like it should be pretty easy to remove. Is this the case? Additionally, are there any issues with remounting the factory underpanel using the screw for the splitter?

Yes, it is easy to remove. I don't even jack the car up anymore. Most of the holes that we use aren't used by the factory, only two will have to be used with bolts instead of the oem plastic rivets. Please let me know if this doesn't fully answer all your questions.

Thanks,
Eric
