Need some help, splitter torn off.
Hey guys, I recently purchased an APR front splitter for my 16' Nismo, and the installation result looked great. The problem is, around 30 minutes after installation, the splitter torn off from my front bumper and basically fell on the free way. Note it was pouring rain in SoCal these couple days, and I basically didn't even realize it until I got home.
Knowing the weather was terrible, I drove on average 60~70 mph on the freeway. Was the installation bad? Or did the windy weather just caused too much down force. I know most of y'all would just install it by someone professionally, or take it to a shop. But my friend and I thought it would just be a simple job in the garage with some drilling and bolting by following that instruction guide they gave.
I have already contacted EvasiveMotorSports for help, but they don't seem like they want anything to do with my situation besides pushing me to buy another splitter with a discounted rate :~(.
TL DR: I should get flamed for being a poser but can I get some tips and advice if I do get another splitter in the future? Would I be able to chassis mount onto the front with the damaged bumper by drilling new holes?
*I also did test drive / test pull to see how the splitter will hold up before I head back home as well.. and everything was just fine.
