That actually looks really good, racy but doesn't draw too much attention. How do the braces attach to the bumper itself? Just screws?

Looks cool.. but I don't think it is actually going to do anything.
The splitter isn't really made to be adjustable, not to mention, any serious down force will rip those things out of the plastic bumper. I've been thinking about getting the Stillen canards... but idk about this. |

I only did it to make my car stand apart from other 370s with the stillen lip. I know it is not functional, most body parts added to these cars do absolutly nothing for functionality.

I like it too. I'd either CF or matte black the fangs to complete the look - but that's just me.

Bought them off of the CV Racing Products trailer at Five Flags Speedway last weekend during the Snowball Derby. They are made by Race City racing products and are normally used for rear spoiler supports on circle track stock cars. I had to modify slightly by grinding out some of the aluminium at the mounts to get more angle on them. They come in various lengths, these are the 8" ones, CV part # BSR-019-AE8.
I had to remove the bumper to mount the upper base. These could be made functional by adding a small mount to attach to the aluminum bumper bar, it is not too far behind where these mount. Thought about blacking them out but didn't want them to get lost and they go well with all of the other silver accents on the car. I will get a picture tomorrow of the whole car so you can get a better idea. |

Not bad! I'm usually not a fan of splitters since the street is never kind. But your install is sweet, good job. You def accomplished your mission of standing out from the crowd.
