15, 1/4" Stainless nuts, bolts, washers and lock washers.



also trying to decide if i want to go with the turnbuckles or not. for anyone who HAS used them, do you have pictures of them, I'm looking at what angles they are less protrusive and maybe powdercoated black for a less drastic look. Anyone?
You used 2 more screws than I did, it's been 6 months, many moments at 120MPH, a few high driveway scrapes, and still tight without turnbuckles.

There are 2 bumps. one at each end underneath, they are to clear bumper bolts. I drilled through them and used longer bolts there.

I drilled them out as well after the pic and attached the bolts through the holes.

Good install, when I got mine, I threw the screws away and drilled 1/4 holes to thru bolt up about 12 bolts with large fender washers.... IMO, you should leave the turnbuckles off.Your ride is sooo clean as is, looks sport lux, not nismo....

I just purchased this splitter, do you have to take the bumper off to get it on or can you get it on with the bumper still in place?

You can put it on w/their hardware w/the bumper on, but to do it through bolted the bumper will have to come off, or the cover underneith, but it was easier for me to pull the whole bumper.

Total install time was about 1 hr.

Looks great! i like the idea of making it more secure to the bumper so you dont have to worry about it going anywhere
