It was that bad cuz it is fiberglass hence why I am not going Hamann again. Yea I thank God this is all that happen. It could have been a lot worse. It just scared the crap out of me when it happened.
I have the same splitter. Hmm.. I always hated trucks...
Good luck in your search for a new splitter.
I wonder if it was polyurethane like the same material as the mtech bumper, would it have cracked too?

My bumper is cool at least the front is I will jack the car up tonight and check the rest. If it was poly it would not have cracked like that it would flex and probabily just jack up the paint.

The pic is not the best on the front shot. Looks kinda boring not as agressive as the Hamann but Li like the fact that it does not hang down. It is between this and the Hartge. I am thinking of going all RDSport though.

RDsport b/c no one has it and if your lucky you can buy knightcom's RDsport rear diffuser to go along with it if he still has it. That's the route i would've went with if i got the the m-tech kit.
