fmxomar splitters

I've had the car for a week and had the MOD need. So I hooked up with fmxomar who was able to set me with a pair of his ABS plastic splitters.

Package arrived this afternoon complete which was clutch because my son leaves for college on Monday and I wanted to do a last mod with him before he left.

Fit and finish was very nice. The holes lined up perfectly and the install took no time whatsoever.

So may I present to you my new baby with MOD #1.



Here is a pic of my son's MCS that we slightly MOded - LOL

Thats neat looking. Is it just for looks or does it have aerodynamic properties?

Splitters sole purpose is aerodynamic management. The fact that they look neat is an accidental bonus.

Wise it is not, in opinion of mine, to make black the kidneys.

BahamaBart, your car looks great! I was hoping to keep my car stock cosmetically, I think the splitters might be my only exterior mod to the car. Have you actually felt increased stability?

I can't say that I feel a difference. I have had the car up to 100 with them one. I'm not sure how much "technology" was applied nor testing. Omar would have to speak to that.

I had a "mod need", liked the look, 100 bucks and bought them.

PS - They have more of a functional than pretty look which i find appealing and very subtle.

FMXOMAR- I'm the guy that talked to you last week at the RB Post Office. Just got back home to Italy and would like you to PM me the info on your splitters.

Thanks!

Mike

When I reviewed the pic, I had the same reaction and went out and checked.

All bolts you supplied are good to go.

Thanks again for making these up.

Went out and re-checked, it was off after all. The second farthest bolt towards the back if over tighten can angle the front down.
