Just got mine last week and installed it over the weekend. Ordered it from FVD for $154!!! Shipping was about a $100 but still less than $400 for the OEM street version.

Just noticed the website now says it is in stock in their German warehouse only - when I ordered it was in stock in US warehouse as well.

That would just add to the shipping cost. Great price for the splitter.

I bought one from IMGT3 one month ago and they had more than 6 in stock. They are in the Chicago area and easy to deal with.

......as these are poly pretty much indestructible, have twice caught mine on rough terrain and ripped the front part completely off bending it back on itself whilst still driving along, with just the sides still attached

had to reverse to unfold it out from under the vehicle, still totally intact and re attach it.

hello
may i ask a question about these splitters. does any body have a good way of attaching this to the car so that it stays on. i have used the push pin things and also i used the screw type pins. i finally resorted to using the push pins and duct tape to hold them in place i hope somebody has a more permanent solution thanks

According to the Porsche part catalog for the car, it is supposed to be attached with the push pins AND double sided tape. I used the 3M exterior mounting tape and it has stayed on rock solid.

Like MJP911said, the stock push pins and ds tape. Lots of other discussion in that thread about using a a bead of silicone as well.

IMO, you still want it to break away without much drama if you catch it on something, so don't go overboard unless you also want to possibly damage your bumper (not cheap to replace and paint).

roger that......defo don't use bolts, it'll cost u big time in front damage, splitter must tear away if caught badly.

so its a packet of scrivets part # 999 507 427 40 and 3M Scotch double sided tape.

I often remove the splitter when driving on the street so I don't use the 3M double sided mounting tape. Too much of a pita to install/remove for track days. I've opted for the "classy" black duct tape when going on the track. I cover the seam between the splitter and the bumper with tape and add an additional few vertical pieces to help make it stay in place.

That looks OEM. Is that Porsche Brand duct tape?
