KG Splitter installed
I installed the KG Splitter along with the Mishimoto skidplate this week.
My thoughts:
Anyway the summary is that it is a low cost functional splitter suited for those who might track their car and don't want to worry about taking care of an expensive carbon fiber splitter. If you use it with a skidplate expect to do some extra work. Here is a pic, sorry about the dirty car.

Looks very similar to the Lightweight lip I briefly (came off at speed due to your aforementioned sheet metal screws) had on my F80 M3.
Looks good, and cheap enough I'm assuming to treat it as a consumable. I'm all for some more cost effective options for lips, especially when lowered. Thanks for being the guinea pig!

Is the splitter pre drilled and use the OEM 10mm bolts under the bar as well as the supplied TEC screws? Did you use any double sided tape?
Sounding like this thing is going to disappear under the car at higher speeds if its just a few self tapping screws holding it on. |

I used 4 M6 screws in the front (10mm head) & 2 on the ends for extra security. The other 4 are sheet metal screws.
As designed it is intended to use only the sheet metal screws.

KG Splitter
Just curious can you see the ground behind the splitter where the arrow is? If yes, is it because you positioned it forward more than normal due to your skid plate? I am contemplating this lip as my first option. Just want to be sure what I am getting. Also, did you happen to take any photos of how it is mounted from the bottom side?

Good observation but no, I didn't move it forward. It is mounted in the location as they intended in their design. There are some spacers in the center section that create an opening in the center which is why you can see behind the splitter from that angle. I don't have a picture handy but maybe you can see what you need from this video https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1qbe...E1cDU3MXI0aHg3

Personally, I would trust the hardware that they provide, but your opinion may be different.

Any other photos of it installed? How was installation are you drilling new holes in the bumper itself or was it designed to utilize the current OEM holes? I ordered mine but just curious what I will be getting into.

I didn't drill any holes into the car. I used machine screws and nuts where possible to avoid the sheet metal screws that they provide. Having a Mishimoto skid plate helps to make it more secure.
