Topic: RRM Front Splitters

[K Nguyen]

Front splitters just came in from RRM.. Problem is they didn't come with instructions... Any idea on installing it?

Super easy! takes like 5 minutes!

You will need:
RRM Front Splitter
Hardware (included with shipment)
A drill with 3/8 drill bit

First you need to remove the three bolts on each side that hold the front accents on the bumper for the GTS.

Then you need to hold the splitter up to the bumper and put the screws through the washers and screw them in.  If you are by yourself, I would recommend using phone books to hold it up!

Screw them in one at a time starting from the outside and working your way in from one side of the car to the other.

The you will want to attach the front supports to the splitter and decide positioning preference through the grille. 

There is a black piece on the front portion of your engine bay that forces air into the snorkel, if you haven't already removed that, you will need to take it off to get ur hands/ wrench down to where the support will come through the grille.  It is held on by just a couple of those push pin things. easily removed.

I recommend getting the support on the driver's side tightened down first so that you don't have to fight with positioning on the side you will have to drill through.

Once the driver's side is done,  make sure you know exactly where you will want the passenger side to be positioned before you drill the hole in the plastic!  Once you have the placement decided, drill away!

Once you have the support tightened through the whole, your splitter is installed!  Enjoy the look and watch out for dips and speed bumps!

   The car really is not that fast or fast enough to require them. At least you have some type of cash trying to make it look all go.

Yo K Nguyen. I would like to see some pics of it. How are you setting it up, with the rods that came with it to give the splitter a drop look or attaching the splitter right underneath the bumper???

Yeah, I'm gonna use the rods it came with. But I'm gonna paint it today or tmrw. I'll take pics when its done installing. Any pics request though?

[adam710]

No special requests. Just a basic shot would help better than model pics. I was planning on getting one but I keep hesitating. I have a site here, http://www.everythinglancer.com/mitsubishi-evox-wind-splitter-rods-p-18034.html and they are selling it $10 cheaper but dont know the shipping costs. If you don't mind me asking, how much did RRM charge for shipping? I probally will get it anyways cuz I like the FULLNESS of EVO's lower bumper trim. By, putting on the splitter directly underneath the bumper will almost look full except the little gap between the lower center bumper trim and splitter.

CORRECTION. $10 cheaper than the RRM carbon fiber splitters.

Oh, APR.. Yeah, I was gonna get APR but the ones with the rod hooks up with the middle bumper and I didn't want to drill a hole there. But shipping was only 32 dollars are RRM. I got the fiberglass one, not the carbon fiber one. I don't really like carbon fiber, so yeah. Lol, cause I'm gonna go VIP

I have the RRM splitter on my car, I don't think that the rods alone will hold it on well enough.  The holes where those go on the splitter are too far front and centered for those to work alone.  I used both to be safe, and cuz the rods look nice.

Pros: Looks sicccccck 
Cons: RRM "Precut Holes" were not even precised.. Needed to drill holes and there was no holes where the front rods were suppose to be... Had to drill that too... The zip lock bag that came with the lugs and washer had a hole in it and is missing some...

Was it worth $255(With shipping)? HELL NO.
Was it worth the time to put in installing? HELL YES (Looks fking sick!)

Sucks man. Agree with you! Pics are good! Everything else.. hmm.. should've contacted them. Well, glad you like them man. Did you just drill holes into the grille?
