Granted it looks nice but lets be realistic...$200 for splitter, $400 for molding (and that's cheap) and then get it cracked on NY/NJ roads. sounds like a plan. When I get mine it will most likely not be molded. Some people need to learn the definition of rice or keep their mouths shut. Originally posted by drsvt: Needs to be molded,if you use snaps or bolts it will look like a honda! Dont make the mistake of a RICER. Do it right or dont do it at all. i have to agree with The Great One on this...Calling it rice i think is going too far.....I think un-milded to me it still looks decent. But Like i said be for its not my cup of tea. I and i ahve noticed with Mirkos recent bathces that the ends that curve around to the sides of the bumper have been sticking out about 1 - 1 1/2 inches....when not molded of course. But to each his own, it should be pretty easy to take it on and off, good luck! Roz 3.0 SVT hybrid...all the fixens...Track/Race ready very soon!!!!!! 20,000 + miles

They use a flat head screw and are flush with the part. These are easy to remove with a quarter twist.

I understand that i am making a little cosmetic sacrafice, but its worth it...because when its coming down the road, you wont see the fasteners or say "hey, what a ricer, he didnt mold his splitter"..... and to the rest, thank you for the advice and links, thats what i was asking for.
