How does that side piece mount underneath? Does it conflict with the jack points? Can you get it without the logo? I wonder if you could order a custom cut, maybe a little less wide? I think I'll reach out to EZ Splitters and ask.

Swen, do you have any more pics? Close ups, on and off the car, measurements, stuff like that. Their website isn't exactly flush with pics. Could be they're more interested in Instagram marketing than their website, which I guess is a thing now. From their site they say there's no pre-drilled holes, and the intent is for any car with a flat edge on the underside. Still, I don't know how these would work when jacking the car up at the jack points.

Are your mirror caps from EZ Splitters, too?

Wait, you don't have the OEM mud flap pieces, do you? And that's a non-Sport side sill. Hmm.

I don't mind the chrome look either. It actually looked nice with my summer rims. Fortunately, I have just enough carbon wrap elsewhere now on the car to tie in the carbon wrap I have on the window trim.

Nice exhaust, is it custom? looks like you chopped the rear bumper to remove the dual cutouts, looking good man!

Hey there. It's still a work in progress. Didn't want to trim too much and stopped while I was ahead. Will revisit once vision gets clearer.

Measurements for the side splitters are 81.5" long and they are 4.5" wide. It actually doesnt even look that wide. Yes, they are pretty big on Instagram. No pre drilled holes, i just used self tap screws for the bottom. They might be a little in the way on the jack points, but i always use the jack on the frame anyway, so no issue for me. Ill try to get a picture of the underside soon. Yes, i also have the mirror caps. I took the oem mud flaps off to have a cleaner look for the side splitters. The logo just seems to be taped on there, so should be an easy removal

I do like that side splitter, although tucked in a little more. And I completely agree on removing the mud flap extensions. That's not something I personally want to do, but you're right about that. Between that and the dimensions and the compromise to the jack points, the mod is a pass for me, but it was fun thinking about it for a few days.

Thanks, Swen. Good info, good pics.

Wow, those look really nice and the parts are really affordable. It says they are aluminum so is the carbon a wrap or is the design painted onto the parts? Do the mirror caps just stick on top of the mirrors? I wonder if those would stay put at speed on a track day. Did you have them make a custom front splitter? I am also looking into a carbon hood to vent air at track days, but I am not sure if I should get it painted white or wrap the roof in carbon as well- or if that would make my car start to look like a panda (want to avoid this).

I am leaning toward the mirror caps, side skirts with small winglets, and maybe a custom front splitter. Thoughts?

Right now I have carbon wrap on the grille surround, front splitter, window chrome, rear diffuser, and bottom of side skirts (hard to see).




Thinking of getting this hood eventually.

Hey, would you like me to change your SN to Track Daze? I can do that for you.

Haha nice! But then no one would know who I am anymore- well not that that matters. Ironically, I don't think I will do as many track days in this car now that I have a daughter and now that I don't think I can squeak much faster lap times out of the car without driving way beyond the limit and breaking something on the car or worse.

I've actually thought about wrapping the trim in Carbon Fiber as well, but decided to keep the brighter chrome look. The darker window trim seems to work well on your car and I'm really liking the black trim you added to the lower part of the front air dam. That really changes the look of the front end even without adding a lip.

Awesome thanks! I always thought that bottom piece of the bumper looks just like a splitter if only I changed the color. It looks really nice in person. Now we just need to convince Rochester of this.

Swen94- Did you have problems getting through to EZsplitters? They have no phone number or address which makes me a bit nervous as far as customer service goes. I messaged them on Tuesday- which says they respond immediately, but I still have yet to hear anything?? I sent them an e-mail on Wednesday, but I have not heard anything back from that either. I guess it is probably a good thing they are so slow to respond because I am not so sure about those mirror caps on my car, but maybe the side sills. Maybe I am just sensitive to ultra slow response times because in my business if you take any longer than 9 minutes to respond to an e-mail you are done.
