I also was liking this one as well as the one from 6litereater, now I am having second thoughts, will a front splitter cause damage to front bumper?
ACS Composites has a nice one, but again all are just attached to bottom of front fascia, just like factory GFX that had attaching issues, has anyone else heard of issues?
I agree mechanical fasteners are much better, they do need to release with a certain impact. Last thing you'd want is to drive over a curb, back up and rip your whole fascia off because the splitter was hardmounted (I have tested this theory and it will happen with glued on or permanent bolted on splitters)

Here is a picture of our splitter from the underside. We have a total of 11 fasteners, they will not release at high speed but will break under hard impact potentially saving your front bumper.



Forum member experiencing this, with a permament splitter he would have probably lost his bumper too ...

and finally a video of Pedder's Camaro tracking with an ACS splitter merely 40 mm from the ground.

Just went to the circuit track, did laps for about 1/2 hour, on the straight part, I went over 135mph, and NOTHING happened to the splitter or front bumper, I went under the car to check it out, and no signs of stress were found. For me, this is a great product.

Thanks
