Removing Factory Front Splitter 2017 2SS Fifty

twoballscrewball · 06-27-2018, 07:01 AM

What's involved in removing the factory installed front splitter on a 2017 2SS Fifty? I have some unfortunate cracks in the paint due to a parking lot mishap, and I would like to get it wrapped in a carbon fiber print vinyl for now so I don't have to be constantly reminded of my stupidity.........

Thanks.

eh. take your time with this one.
1) you'll have to drill out the rivets that are kinda near the front of the nose. then the splitter I believe is held in place with 1) the 7mm bolts through out the underneath and 2) held in place by automotive 3M double sided tape. that's the challenge. a hot hair dryer or a low heat, heat gun should help in the aid of removal. along with a interior trim piece removal tool. ( so it won't scratch the paint). at least that's what I did and seemed to work out well.

Thanks. Wondering if I should get it painted or wrapped. ZL1 CF wrapped site skirts would look awesome with it....

I just watched a guy doing a body wrap on a 2018. He said most cars have 25 bolts and clips, he says camaro seems to have 80 on front end.
