Hey everyone! I wanted to do this last night but I ran out of daylight. So here are some pictures of the redesigned mirko splitter from the Extreme Dimensions group buy. This is one of the newer splitters, and NOT from the "blem batch."
(the blem batch review by nasty1 can be found here in the original GB post)
Picking up the splitter was pretty easy. The guys at ED seemed pretty cool, and were quick about helping me. They had me sign for the part, drive around back, sign for the part again (for inspection) and then I was off. Probably wasn't there more than 15 minutes, including the short wait. I didn't get a box since I picked it up, but the ends were still bubble wrapped, and it was in a plastic bag. No complaints on packaging!
On to the actual part! It is not flimsy at all, and it feels like it could bend quite a bit, but I still feel like it would break. I DO NOT think it would after seeing the photos that Steve has posted, it just feels that stiff, and I have no reason to test it on my own. -=P
However, it feels and even looks much more durable than my original fiberglass Mirko.
Onto the pictures!
Honestly I thought it would fit a little more snug against the bumper, but I'm not quite sure how they would have gone about accomplishing that. As Savior said in his last post in the GB thread, these DO flex and can be pushed up against the bumper, and adhered with some 3M tape or some other means. Personally it isn't enough for me to even bother, but I know some of you will most likely want to have it hug the bumper closer.
Comparing the fog light cut outs to nasty1's images -- they've been improved, which makes the splitter look more symmetrical overall. That seems to be the biggest improvement between the blem batch and the new batch.
