I have aluminum brackets coming down from the bumper beam that bolt into a brace on the splitter itself out front. In the back, I have a C channel that the splitter slots into.

I also fabricated wire splitter stanchions to prevent the splitter from sagging at speed in front of the main brace. The splitter doesn't attach to the plastic bumper at all; its all chassis mounted.

I'll try to snap some photos this weekend of the setup.
Would love that. I picked up some aluminum to build brackets to more securely mount the splitter.

Shoot me some pics if you don't mind.
