I've installed 3 of these - there is a slot in the bracket that needs to be adjusted correctly when you mount the shaft to it. Going from underneath is will allow you to adjust easily to get it right. Trust me, done 3 of them.
Have you seen the Ford splitter install video? . If you follow their guidnace in reverse, it's pretty spot on. Everything from 0-38 seconds is not applicable. The biggest is to make sure you get all the screws out. Go for the 2 half moon clips behind the wheel liner for each side (min 1:55ish), the (4) diagonal M4 screws (min 2:19ish), the (4) M4 screws that go straight up in the same hole (min 3:07ish), the (12) M6 screws securing the splitter to the belly pan (min 3:34ish), and lastly the (1) M4 screw on the bottom of the splitter behind the grommet (hard to describe, but min 3:55ish in video).

Once that's done, you grab the back of the splitter and start to pull it towards you (hard). I like to do it by breaking the right side loose first, then the left. You'll have to pull hard, but it'll pop off. It won't break, don't worry.
Happy to walk you through any of it while you're in the garage. If you'd like, shoot me a DM and we can chat on the phone. Much easier to explain things in real time!
You’re both indeed holy men with great wisdom... I took the splitter and belly pan both off and it was just as you said. Honestly though, I still don’t really see how to get up in there and work. I could pull the brake cooler duct and it would still be ridiculously tight. I’m done for the evening and in no real hurry, but love to hear your thoughts. I was surprised to see that once the belly pan was off there was still too much crap shoved in to do much...
I'm not sure if you are still available for questions, I am currently trying to install a ZL1 tow hook and have ran into a few issues.
Leave the lock ring off and use blue Loctite to secure it once centered. The locking ring is for the GT. I think ZL1 said they started recommending the Loctite to GT350 owners so we don't have to cut the grills.I'm not sure if you are still available for questions, I am currently trying to install a ZL1 tow hook and have ran into a few issues.
I was able to remove the front fascia with belly pan fairly easy. My question is, my tow hook male threads will definitely not fit through my honeycomb grille openings. I have a 2 piece design a black male end threaded shaftand a female threads on other end that the red hook screws in to. I also have a round threaded locking collar with Allen bolt.
I have emailed ZL1 add-ons questioning if I received the correct tow hook for my 2017 GT350R. I will try attaching pictures for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes it's a Kohr Motorsports splitter.
Thanks for the confirmation, those look incredible!Yes it's a Kohr Motorsports splitter.
I removed the locking collar andu unfortunatelyI ended up having to cut my grille honeycomb to make room for the tow hook. I tried adjusting the reciever a handful of different ways and none allowed a straight alignment for the tow hook shaft. I tried cutting the least amount away, I could have cut closer but it is what it is.
I'll attach pictures of the finished project.
