Finally, a 11+ sport splitter!!

Sooo as many of you know, there is pretty much no splitter specifically for 11-13 sport bumpers. Not even the Stillen one is shaped properly. For this reason, I was going to fabricate my own, as you may have known from the other thread I started. Right before I was about to go to home depot to get some supplies, I did a random one last search.

To my delight, I actually stumbled upon one on eBay!! It looks great, made of aluminum composite, comes gloss black, and for a good price.. So I bought it! It's made by some dude in Canada haha. And apparently, it's been listed there for quite some time, but has gone under the radar for a few reasons.

Just received it today and I'm very excited!! Will be installing it very shortly! Stay tuned for pics.

So without further ado: Front Splitter Kit fit: g37 coupe sport bumper | eBay

After many hours, I finally completed the installation! And I gotta say, I love it!

The contour is perfect, it protrudes out just the right amount, and I love the glossy black finish. Highly recommended.

If you're referring to this lip, it needs to be cut off using a dremel or something similar.




There's also two more deeper guards of some sort that you have to unscrew. But at the end of the day, I ended up just cutting away most of this excess

Yeah that dawned on me, so what I did was this. Like I said, I cut away a lot of the splitter. It now extends about ~1 inch from the back of the bumper and follows its curvature.

The bumper is originally attached to the splash guard via ~8 screws that screw into threaded tabs that clip on to the back of the bumper. These can be seen in the above pic. I used these screws and tabs to mount the splitter. Rather than re-attaching the splash guard to the bumper via the screws as well, when reinstalling the bumper/splitter combo, I just let the front of the splash guard rest on the splitter. So if I needed to remove the splash guard, these front screws aren't securing it. And because the splitter doesn't extend so far back anymore, it should be able to just slide right off/out after removing the splash guard's other, accessible screws/clips..

Hmm, you think? I didn't really think of that. I suppose it could bend, but I'm not sure enough for it break free from the splitter. Because now that I think about it, the splitter extends probably 3 or 4 inches form the back of the bumper. Don't know where I got 1 inch from haha. Any how, great splitter.. If one has the bumper, it will look great.
