Default rennspeed front splitter installed with pics !

I was hoping someone who has installed the renspeed 2 piece front splitter would chime in and give me some advise as to how they fitted and installed theirs and what products they used to fasten/adhere it as i don't want to use mechanical fasteners any where exposed. Currently they are off getting painted to match bumper. I am thinking 3m tape or 2 part epoxy maybe urethane near the top and screws at the bottom. Or is there a better method?

I have a set I am waiting to install also as I cant decide whether to use the existing mounting holes of the front valance and longer screws or to use some adhesive system instead.
https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...tallation.html seems to be the only thread with some tips so far. Lets hope we can get some other input

I have the one piece splitter that replaces the undertrays, and used longer screws to attach it

I also used VW beetle (air cooled type of course) fender beading in between the splitter and valance ...filled the slight gaps nicely and cost about $17 for a roll of it from JC Whitney (no affiliation)

When you decide on a method, make sure you post pics.

I used longer screws. The hard part is drilling the holes to match in the splitter. I made a templae which helped. After 5 years I need to take mine off and reglass both both of them on the bottom as they have been ground down. Leave the existing rubber lip on the car.

I might be interested in a pair of these also, so would be interested in the overall cost.

Sure, they've just let me know - and I quote
"Postage by US postal priority airmail i $38.50
Total $213.50"

Just need to get someone local who has fitted them on theirs to do mine now!

Gaz,
If you are thinking of getting some too, maybe combine postage? I will ask them if possible to send 2 in one consignment first off.

No, not joking. They were listed as 911/964 front slpitters and did sell to the lone bidder

Winning bidder not someone who posts on here as far as I know
