2. Any clearer shots from the front? Did you do anything to fill the area where the Nismo front raises up? From your albums, it appears you pulled the splitter up to bend upward? Doesn't this defeat the actual purpose behind having a splitter? (downforce, pulling the front of the car DOWN. By having the front of the splitter pulled upward, you're actually reversing the purpose and creating upforce/lifting the front)

3. I'm also interested to see where your connection points are for the rods. What is the material of this particular splitter?///found my answer

Very good reasonings for my questions, I assure you

Thank you!
Happy to answer your questions

They are short on the sides by 2 inches or less, keep in mind that this splitter isn't intended for a Nismo.

I did my best to do the fitment right, I used 3M double Sided tape to block of a small gap it left. Now the rods are only there for my drive around the city as there is many bumps and driveways where the splitter drags so I tighten it really well and that's why you see it lifted. When I have the rods off or lose, the splitter hold straight for downforce, of course I wouldn't buy this if it weren't for that. It was mostly custom work but we figured to bolt where the straightest part of the splitter was so we don't get that rise as you know the undertray has that effect.
