Looks great and compliments your ride. Mystic blue and matte black contrast is awesome. I went with that theme on my car - blue and black (except exhaust tips and carbon fiber Hamann front lip)

Looks great, but good luck to you if you don't rip your bumper off! It's looks low like mine was and I believe it kissed just about everything you can imagine on the road. Be aware, that if the item that it contacts is a lot stronger this could easily happen. Since the spoiler sits out further width wise, watch out when you pull into those places like a drive through and there is a curb on either side. If you feel it start to scrape you might want to stop and have a look before continuing and or backing up. I heard the scraping noise and decided to back up. Hmm, I think this made it worse because this is when it grabbed in and then put a lot of force on the bumper tabs at the wing. These broke! I was able to fix them from behind and then decided the spoiler had to go... My car has the sport package and is much lower than one without so this could have also played a role.

true. yea im pretty careful like everyone here is. I typically drive roads i know. i did put slightly oversized tires on and it did raise the car a lil from what it used to be. now i just wish i could bolt on 100 extra horsepower cuz people think its fast. and its slow as shit haha

That sucks Bro, sorry to hear it broke that quick. I agree with Simon, I love the splitter "look" but I can't see me driving like a grandma to try to keep it intact. Hence the reason I have not put one on. At least now you can lower your car back to the "beastly stance" you ahd before you put the splitter on
