I'm not worried about fitment. It will fit fine. This is much traveled ground with A.I.R.
I just don't want one of you sketchy RL'ers sneaking onto my front steps to steal mine!

Mine showed up about a month ago, 5 days after being charged and I'm in South Florida! I painted it and bolted it on, fit is perfect.

I got mine, haven't even opened the box, the car is under 3' of snow. But it arrived a couple of days after the charge showed up on my account. But then again from what everyone else had already said about their integrity I had no doubt on the matter. Car is one huge project waiting to happen, when it does, I have some pics!

Regards,
Russell

Who else installed their splitter? The passangers side does not allign with the end of bumper. It's about 1/2'' inch off. I've tried tweaking it without much success...

This is the best comestic enhancement, PERIOD.
No picture of the bad side...

Virtually all 951 front noses are out of square. Any tiny little bump on the front bumper will bend them. If the car was ever hit in front you can bank on it being out of square. These splitters get made on a mold, and have been the same for years. It's best to take the nose off to install the splitter. Did you do it that way?
I'll be installing mine later tonight, but there is a huge chance it's your car rather than the part. In four years I've never heard a complaint about the part.

So are you usually able to fix any issues with the bumper brackets so as to make the bumper mount correctly once you install the splitter on the bumper off the car?

I wouldn't go that far, but you can make it a lot better. It depends on how far out your nose is. Every car is different. The splitter, just as the batwing, gives lower reinforcement for the proper shape of the nose. By removing the nose, you are better able to manipulate the shape of the nose to fir the splitter properly. Remember, the splitter hasn't been hit. It's the proper size. The nose...not so much.
