Finally finished installing this today, heat let up a little and I decided to tackle it.

I did use the OEM Belly Pan as I didn't want to lose the protection towards the rear and the sections that complete the wheel wells. So, I marked plug locations, screws locations, and drain holes - reused some of the factory hardware, got some longer screws for the front, and used the APR supplied hardware as well.

More or less, I mated the APR unit to the OEM Belly Pan then installed it as you would simply put the belly pan back on. Added the support rods and voila.
I need details in that awesome grille delete. Did u buy that or just cut off your honeycomb?? That looks great! Also love the splitter but the wife won't approve. Working/begging for cai/tune next lol.

A wing on a RWD car does not make it a ricer. I don't care how it looks, if it's functional and you track your car you are not a ricer. Stupid people in hondas had to ruin it and create that idea.
Pretty sure he meant "racer", lol.

I already have the steeda wing, and am definitely doing this. Should look good, and perform great on my forgestar/nitto setup.

It's a DIY delete. Courtesy of a dremel. Lol. I've got some racemesh on the way to mate onto it though to give it some protection as having it just a big gaping maw makes me nervous.

The airflow is definitely better with it opened up. My IATs are running barely 2-3 degrees over ambient now.

When a better hood becomes available I will be getting that as this design does add to the lift being created, but I think the splitter is neutralizing it a bit at speed.

And yes, I'm going to assume the "ricer" comment from earlier was just a autocorrect for "Racecar", to save myself the tying explaining how much he's going to hate the wing I've got planned for the rear end, the coilovers, and the 305s I plan to slap in the front. :cheers:

I did the upper/lower lethal grilles, and love them.

It would be nice if those rods came in black.

Duracoat and an airbrush.

Permanent, will definitely stand up to the elements, comes in almost any color, made and for certain works in tight tolerance mechanical designs, will handle most forms of grease, oils and cleaners you throw at it, tough...and on and on....

You guys aren't worried about thugs being able to pop the hood with no grill there?

Can't get to it from there without doing damage to the radiator support.

I'm looking into buying this, but I think I want to wait until after winter. Are you guys concerned at all with the splitter vs snow?
