1le Front Splitter
Hi All,
I've been a lurker in the forum for a long time but this is my first post. This is my 3rd year of owning a Black 2014 2SS RS 1le with Recaros, and it has been amazing! I want to thank everyone who contributes to the forum, I've found tons of great information and tips on here! I hate to be "That guy" whose first post is asking for help, but I'm I guess I am... so here it goes... I recently took my car to the local dealer for communication interface module reprogramming (to correct a battery drain issue) and noticed a small scuff on the lower lip of front splitter. When I looked closer it also appears that the upper and lower pieces are no longer flush and some of the mounting tabs now appear visible. I could swear they fit better than this is the past but now I can't tell if my mind is playing tricks on me. Any chance someone could either: Post a link to good close up of the factory front splitter (I can't seem to find a good angle) Let me know if my photo looks normal to you? Post a similar angle of their front splitter Thanks!! |

and to add, you do have gaps that should not be there (the lip should be flush up against the bumper as the others pics have shown too.)
i'd find a trusted body shop in your area and have them correct / re-mount if necessary, it's possible some of the mounting hardware has failed. nice car too btw, Recaros are becoming unicron finds! i love mine

Thanks Silveradoss573 and608RS!
I appreciate you taking the time to respond & post! Yeah, one of my seat covers is showing some wear. I priced replacements and suddenly the wear didn't seem that bad LOL |

I had a body shop that's worked on the car before take a look at it and they agreed it should fit flush but said there really wasn't much way to adjust it.
The splitter has been off in the past for a mild fender bender so that may have something to do with it. On the plus side, they said nothing was loose and I shouldn't have any problems driving it. 608RS You're right they're crazy expensive, but beyond that I don't seem in stock anywhere (PN 22997432). Does anybody know if these are even still available? Thanks! |

There are several rivets and breakaway bolts/nuts on the underside of these. I would crawl under and truly ensure everything is there. Here’s a picture of the breakdown for a 2013; I’d imagine the 14/15 are similar. For instance, there are 25 #2’s and eight #9’s required; in the second picture for the rubber deflector, there are 15 each required of number 16 & 22... Mine was missing some various bits when I bought it. I replaced everything and it did tighten up.

Scotty D,
That's what I was thinking! I saw they were discontinued I was hoping to pick up an NOS part just in case I hit a parking curb or something. |

I am hoping they start manufacturing them again!! Just like they did with the Z28 fender flares and everything |
