Just Added APR front splitter and side splitter

I just added APR front and side splitter. Great install on by APR and very functional it seem. Now I am thinking my car to low...










Just an update 10/3/13

I put about 15k miles on the APR splitter and it been holding up. I do have to be extremely careful going up down any type of of driveways or gutters. I feel the front end is very solid after about 70 mph and you start to realize the increase downforce in the front. During high speed cornering the rear end will start to slide. I had to look for alternatives to help alleviate the pressure of the front end with the jdm underbody diffuser. I might still look to APR in adding an actual spoiler to the rear of car when I decide to stop daily driving my car. This splitter really does work for anyone who decide to bring their car to the track you will not be disappointed.

Any side profile pictures?

It looks like it extends from the front bumper a lot.
