I took a poll before I purchased a splitter and Downforce Solutions beat Aeroflow by 12-3. The pre drilled holes on the splitter didn’t line up at all, so I just had to drill some new ones. Did you remove the bumper for install?

Because it’s not a proper splitter, it’s an extended lip that can’t take the pressure of constant 85mph winds
Regardless, if they sell a thing that attaches to the front of the car, it shouldn't break away at speed.

Assuming the install was done as instructed.

Exactly.. I contacted them at Downforce being I paid $250+ for the from splitter to get a replacement and the best I got was 20% off..

So after going around 85 on the Highway the Front Splitter (Aftermarket) got pushed in on passenger side:
Baltimore Highways are terrible. :dunno:

Looking at the bolt holes it looks like the fell out . None of the holes look liked they got ripped out so wonder if the bolts were not tight

Personally I would never mount a "Splitter" that can't first be chassis mounted and can also support my weight in it's entirety when I stand on it.

Sorry you're out 250 though. Definitely a shitty quality product on their end.

Aeroflow makes quality products... This splitter is solid and every way. No problems... Very sturdy and looks good as f;!%!

PCI does solid work as well.

Not sure if they're on the X train yet though.

Checked PCI out. They only have Honda stuff for older models....Man, I hate to have to pay again for a splitter
Just put rods on mine after driving daily without for over a month.. And i avg 85 mph often. Call Aeroflow and share ya concerns or email them.. They are good with the feedback.
