It's just a part of loving cars and wrenching. At least especially thanks to Sledge for the video it won't take you long.

I did lowering springs, front and rear sway bars and oil change when it was -5F outside lol. All on the same weekend, solo.

Good information to know. Thank you for the information.

I hope that was a rhetorical question? Of course you are going into the garage and getting it installed right after you change coming home from work hahaha.

Just finished installing the splitter. Extremely easy, thanks to the guys for the tips. Sledge for the video, and Glen for the tip for using push pins! Only problem I had was me being an idiot, and leaving one screw in place I had to drill a hole in bottom of splitter to remove the original screw and put new screw with a larger washer. Sucks working in a dark garage, along with getting old and blind. Looks awesome, worth the money.

Yeah easy install....but I would do it differently again…I figure it's going to have to come off at least once a year to get re-cleared and polished. So I'm gonna take it off the first time, remove all the tape and put it back up with the four poppers in the middle, one on each end and then all the bolts , that's more than enough , then it's an easy-off easy on.

Yea, that splitter is gonna get sandblasted. Wish it was made out of abs like my 2013 dusk had.

Heres a couple of pics, dont mind my filthy car. We have salt covered roads and temps at or below zero this weekend
