Hell yeah man, if your pockets can stand it, get another one and add a bolt every 6 inches and make two rows, no blueprint to it, but that's how it did mine.

It came with 12 bolts from the package, and I basically put a put a bolt on where the rivets used to be (12). Can't see any installation error, but I'm really looking forward to get another set of splitter

When I've seen that splitter mounted on a new nismo bumper in the past I dont recall seeing that large of a gap between the bottom of the bumper and the splitter. 12 bolts should be enough to hold it at 70mph if mounted correctly, I have around that holding my splitter on and its been fine at 100+.

I agree - that gap seems much bigger than other installations of the same splitter i've seen
