Default RS Splitter install question

I just purchased a set of RS Splitters (aftermarket - MA Shaw) and have a question regarding installation. When I look at the lower front valence on my
'97 C2S it appears to be one piece. The splitters are of course in two pieces and it makes me wonder how they are installed. Any advice? (or did I buy the wrong kind?).
Thanks.
Cheers.

C2S uses the same bmper as the turbo, right? If so, the bumper is one piece and cant use RS (or any)splitters. I have seen an aftermarket GT2 splitter kit for a turbo bumper though. (the real GT2 used a C2 bumper with splitters). It was one piece that overlayed the whole bottom section of the bumper.

Smile Yup...

The Carrera S front splitter is one piece, same as the 993 Turbo I believe.

The RS Splitter is fiberglass...somebody will by them. I have the RS splitters from Porsche, polyurethane, mo betah, wont crack and seems to hold paint well!

Thanks guys - appreciate the info. The C2S does have the same valence as the Turbo, so apparently I bought the wrong thing. I suspected as much once I looked at the valence (should have done that first). Oh well. I'll have to post them for sale.

This is why there is a regular Euro bumper instead of Euro Turbo on my car. Like the look of the Turbo bumper, but thought I'd be better served by RS splitters if I wanted to go that route later.

Hey Martin - Not a bad idea, but I prefer the "tail-less" look on the widebody plus I do really like the split grill. Althought I did want that front splitter look. However I'm not willing to change lots of things on the car just to accommodate splitters. I like to keep the car relatively stock looking......with a few exceptions
