Easy as pie. Dont have to take the bumper off or anything. I have and aftermarket grill with mesh, so I had to cut, not sure if you need to or not with the factor grills. My first track event was in a thunderstorm and I saw a total of 2 dozen cars get towed out, many with damage. Any car that I plan to take to the track will have a tow hook.
Curious why you would put metal supports on the front lip. What's the rationale behind that?

Best,

He has the APR splitter that screws into the bottom of the belly pan; they are ostensibly to keep it from pulling down from aero forces.

Ah. Wonder how fast you'd have to be going to generate any significant downforce from that lip....probably pretty darned fast. Never know when you'll be tooling around the track at Talladega. :)

Underestimate aero effects at your own peril. Plastic bumper covers and such aren't good for much of any load that's trying to bend them.

Maybe stick your hand out the window at 80 mph or so, fingers together and palm down. Then tilt it either up or down just a little. At many tracks you'll reach 120 or better at least once per lap . . . even with only a sixxer level of power.
