Re: Little "phat" lip
 
where did you buy that?

H82BL8 01-12-2010 12:22 PM

Re: Little "phat" lip
 
OEMPlus.com, direct links is in red, on the first post.

Tip: The actual shipping that I paid was less than what they say on the product page. I think I paid $116 with shipping, not too bad.

Very, very nice. It's subtle, so it doesn't jump out at you like so many tacky aftermarket pieces do. I just might have to pick one of these up!

I'm assuming you drilled little pilot holes in the 7 tabs on either side, then used those as a guide to drill into the underside of the bumper cover, ultimately securing them with the #10 bolts? Is that enough to keep the center section nice and secure, or did you 3M tape the two center mounts?

Any other tips/pointers/suggestions you can offer on the install? I really think I'm going to pick one of these up, and leaving it black will perfectly match my black rear diffusers.

If you do remove and remount, it would be great to see some pics of the locations of the holes on the underside of the bumper. Will they show if it is removed?

No 3m tape in the center, but I'm thinking if taping and bolting latter in the future if I paint it. Its seems to be pretty solid just with the bolts.

I think the holes are low enough that you would not see them if the splitter was removed, you would have to get down pretty low, they are all behind the front body crease in the bumper. It took almost 3 hours to put it on I really don't want to take it off 2 days latter. If I do paint it I promise to snaps some pics and post them.

I might even order another one as a spare. Not sure how low the SRT bumper is but this ones got curb crack written all over it. Just a heads-up you really have to watch the parking curbs with it.

Those last pics had me reminiscing of my days Colorado Springs with the mountains in the background. I lived in the Springs from 1989 to 1998. I have some great memories from there, and do miss it.

In all honesty, parking curbs should not be a problem with a Crossfire. The car is so short that you don't need to pull completely into a parking space. Heck, if you nosed in and kept your back bumper even with most SUV's back bumpers, your front bumper would be several feet away from the curb!!

Ya I know, I just have to get use to parking back a bit.

OEMPlus should be close to you, I use to live across from the Irvine Police station about 10 years ago. I know exactly where they are located. They have some really nice stuff, the PPI Audi R8 stuff is really pricy!

That just looks wrong...take it off ASAP and send it to me:D Very Very cool, its uplifting to come across new ideas for these cars as it seems the aftermarket world has forgotten us.

BTW

do I get a free sticker or something for my 500th post?;)

Nice try Ghost, I do appreciate the compliment! It was a little bit of a risk, I had no idea if this would even fit until it arrived at my front door. Good thing it worked out!

It's an universal spoiler made in Spain. I've seen them used for Audi TT's, A4's and Golf's, but never a Crossfire.

It actually fit pretty nice. The width is perfect, I had to trim the middle posts down and shave off some depth, our front bumpers are pretty short.


I ordered if from OEMPlus, (it took about 5 weeks).

Very clean & looks like it could be OEM.

Nice job on the install too.....

Re: Little "phat" lip
 
It looks very good like OEM if you didn't know any better. BTW I never paid any attention to it but I just got the name that you use. Boy am I slow :rolleyes:
