I got my splitters installed on a jet black 135 this weekend. I have to say I really like the look on a black car. It really changes the front/stance of the car.

definitely looks nicer and more aggressive. Congrats. How's the fitment? They seem a little thick from the pictures if you look towards the outside and the very center.(fiberglassy?)

Quick135,
Looks sick! i just placed an order for the front splitters. Did you install it with just 3m tape or with bolts as well?

Similar to Bogart, I had to make some adjustments to get them to fit they way I wanted. I think he used a dremel to cut some extra product away, I only needed a file. It really is minimal adjustments that are required/needed. As far as thickness goes, they aren't paper thin but they don't stick out from the car, either. They do a pretty good job of keeping to the original contours of the car.

I used both 3M tape and three bolts very similar to Bogart's install. Honestly, with the tape, they aren't going anywhere. The bolts (at least in my case) helped pull them up for a snugger fit especially down near the FMIC. One screw really helped pull those edges/corners close to the curve of the bumper cover.

Overall, I'm very pleased with them and the way the front of the car looks now.

More pics to come soon. Would like to set up the softboxes tonight and take some lowlight/long exposure photos but a storm might prevent that from happening.

That looks awesome! I can't wait to see how mine look after I drop my car on KW V2's this weekend.

Those splitters look great on a black car! I think they would look too goofy on mine.
