I've pretty much came to a decision I want a diffuser. To make one or buy one? The only one I could find is the one on eBay. For imo an outrageous price of 300+shipping. So my questions are... Who still makes ?them? Whose made they're own? And who has a front splitter? Pics please! And links. Used the search and didn't see much results unless I'm an idiot and didn't use it correctly lol... Hence me making this topic so I apologise if this has been covered...

Shipping is $85 across the country. Pretty sure you need to buy barrel adjustor struts yourself.
Though I think it's made of aluminum which bothers me. If you hit someone with the edge of that it would probably cut their feet off. I would feel better about a carbon fiber or plastic part that had some body to it. That way it will crush if you hit something rather than go rearward into the underside of the car and tires.
I think the car needs to be lowered to pull off such an aggressive look.

Thanks bud! I'll look into it. Appreciate it.
I had the rear braces switched initially. The proper installation is switched left and right. You'll also need some fender washers. 3/8 and 1/4" holes.
If you get this I'll make a clearer installation diagram of those L braces.
I have some adjustable struts but I'm going to install those later this week.

My bumper cover is crap but bleh will address that later. Installed the splitter braces a couple nights ago. It's basically solid now

It's juuust enough lip. I ordered 10 inch struts from summit, and you can do 8" if you prefer the struts go straight forward.
I've been meaning to call them up and tell them how much I like this splitter.

Do you have a right up? I'm struggling with the rear braces. Or brackets? I think I too might have them switched. I got it all on and cover is back on the only thing left is the rear brackets.
If they don't line up closely it means they're flipped. Taking mine off for pictures would be a huge hassle since the struts have to come out and go back in last, and it involves fishing them through the holes in the bumper. Try flipping the brackets around or swapping them.
That's exactly what the problem was.
are you familiar with skewers on mountain bike wheels? They're a cam lock with a lever. I might get some for those brackets if I find myself dropping the splitter often. For the hole that goes to the subframe.

That's not a bad idea!
