All in all its pretty damn solid, but I'm still going to be cautious with curbs and large speed bumps.
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.

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.

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!

Very Very cool, its uplifting to come across new ideas for these cars as it seems the aftermarket world has forgotten us.

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).
