For anyone else who needs a splitter, I have a new-in-box base GT350 splitter, perfect shape, still in plastic, but no hardware. Shoot me a PM.

Swear to god if mine arent installed i will slap the schit outta my sales guy lol.

If your splitter is not installed correctly I wouldn’t take a chance On tracking the car and having the splitter cone off.

it’ll ruin your day, to say the least.

You still should check to make sure the screws are in place in those front mounting spots.

hope you don’t have any issues come track day.

Crawl under the car. On my 16, they didn't bother with two of the four bolts

Took this car yesterday to visit my inlaws. Not sure how it happen but heard a loud bang. Was able to pull into an Ace hardware and look under the car. The whole front splitter was folded under the car!!!! Went into Ace and bought a ratchet set to remove it. Put the car in reverse to flip the splitter back into normal spot.

SO now my question is.. Anyone else this happen too? Did I do something wrong? Do I replace with stock or aftermarket? Does anyone know of a place that has them in stock?

Can I drive the car without one? Front end lift at high speeds right? but normal driving ok?

Do you think the Sliplo kit would have prevented this?

Had the same thing happen to me with 3000mi on car. The problem with mine was the dealer install. There was a while section of fasteners missed. Got a complete factory kit with hardware for 400. Installed correctly by myself with no issues since

Contact your nearest Ford dealer regarding this. They need to do the repairs for you free of charge.

Good luck! Tried that, told me I must have hit something! Lol

i was told the same, which only increased my push for warranty replacement. i guess 3 years later it still really pisses me off they thought I’d lie about that. but I’m sure they see/hear crazy stories all the time. if you can look at the attachments that came undone and the mounting points aren’t ripped/torn, nothing was there to begin with...but yeah they love that excuse

Might want to eliminate the middle man person. Sales guy person doesn't install them. Sales guys persons who don't care if they're installed right are the same type who wouldn't bother to pass the beating on.

i only had the center 2 screws missing...outer 2 were installed. I had a set of stainless ones that matched perfectly from a german oven brand. Track day went without hitch.

Did you still have the gap from it not being installed correctly or was the gap closed?
