Well Dave, here they are....and that is the carbon fiber splitter you sold me 10 years ago!!

By the way the splitter has an aluminum skid plate under it. This is needed because the car is so low. The plate is 1/8" thick aluminum with Stair tread. It is bolted to the center section of the splitter and the light mount bolt goes through the aluminum as well as the carbon splitter.

Also the oil cooler opening is framed internally with 1/4 and 3/8: chromalloy welded tubing frame that is bonded into the fiberglass bumper. This means the load on the splitter and skiplate from driveway impacts go to the bumper mounts and frame and are not absorbed by the fiberglass bumper. The bumper is still in good shape after 9 years or so of 10K miles a year street driving. You can see the skid plate a bit in the head on shot.

The aluminum bracket on top of the splitter in the center of the oil cooler opening is the license plate mount by the way.

With lights on. By the way the H4 headlights are HID Bi-Xenon as well, with a shutter for high and low beam
