Pictures of unpainted Stillen splitter on BS

I finally got around to buying a Stillen splitter for my BS G37S. As soon as I can find a reputable body shop, I'm having it painted blue slate to match my car. But some people had requested pictures of what it would look like unpainted, so I propped it up under there just to snap a few quick pictures (interesting side-note for anyone doing the installation on your own; plastic 22oz beer mugs that you get free at any bar in the Midwest on "Mug Night" wedge perfectly under there).

Sorry about the poor quality; it's freezing out there and I wanted to get back inside asap. I'll take more pictures after it's painted and my Eibachs get installed.

Gotta get it painted first!! However, I'm thinking about running up to the hardware store and buying 8 more self-tapping screws (like the 8 that came with the splitter) and just screwing it on without the tape for a few days to make sure I like it before I have it painted. But then I have to drive carefully and make sure not to get on the expressway... Not sure if it's worth it.

Yea, it comes with two chrome turnbuckles, but they're not really functional. To the best of my knowledge, they are purely cosmetic, because once this splitter is taped/screwed on, it's not going to move the slightest bit!
