Removing the front with GM splitter
Posted this in forced induction, but received no replies.
When installing a procharger, I know one has to remove the front of the car to install the intercooler and plumbing. I have the GM aftermarket front splitter and it's riveted per instruction. I'm assuming the rivets go through the undertray. This may be a stupid question, but does it require any different procedure to remove the front with a GM front splitter installed? If so, is it just simply just removing the undertray with it. |

It just comes off with the front fascia.... the two way tape and rivets keep it in place on the fascia after removing the lower screws.....

I had to do this a few weeks ago since I got dusted with rocks. I was pretty anal about seeing it.
I had to drill out the rivets, which wasn't a big deal, just be carefull. the 3m tape that was holding it on however, sheesh! I was afraid of ripping off the bumper it was on so well. but for what your doing, you don't need to remove the splitter. I just removed the whole facia. took about 20 mins or so, taking your time, making sure you don't scratch nothing.

Thanks gentlemen. I wasn't sure if the rivets went through and attached to the undertray, making it difficult to remove the front fascia.

I replaced my rivets with the plastic push poppers used else where in the car. Works perfect and now easier to get splitter off for repaint, repair, etc....
