APR Splitter Install (PICS)

[ETCH]

Mines been sitting in my room for a while, can anyone recommend a shop in South Florida that can install this splitter? The last shop I called quoted me 5-6 hours of labor just to take the bumper off.... What a joke.

bro the first time I took my bumper off, totally having no clue took me 45 minutes. last time I took it off, 15 minutes. you need three wrenches, that's it. really easy.

if that shop wants to charge you 6 hours just to take off the bumper, they are either crooks or retards...

Yea, I live in a condo and HOA rules don't allow me to work on vehicle and I would probably mess up the drilling. I rather just bring it to a shop.

I'm so fed up with this apr front splitter, I have been to about 4 body shops in South Florida who have either said they won't install it or they wanna charge me 7+ hours of labor which is INSANE.. Not paying 700$ to install this thing. Many shops saying they won't do it at all because their SCARED to mess up drilling a hole. Can anyone please in South Florida who has installed this thing help me.

Did you ever get this installed? What part of Florida are you in?

just curious, does it matter where the support rods go?

seen them in different positions

 

[BTM]

Nope, many different preferences out there - angled vs straight, wide vs narrow. Unless you do something truly retarded, the support will be fine...

Since they are drilled to suit, you can place almost anywhere. FWIW, I placed mine so they are mounted on the top side of the lower grille piece, so if I want to go back to stock, I just replace that piece (cheap take offs from everyone going aftermarket), and there are no holes in my bumper cover, which is quite a bit more expensive and also carries color-matched paint.

[MENTION=16680]Jon|3.7[/MENTION] Ditto what [MENTION=21104]BTM[/MENTION] said i have mine drilled into the lower grille. For the same reason easier to replace the grille than say patch the bumper
