do those 2 litle bars drill into the bottom of ur bumper? im curious as to how it attaches, see it would be worth looking into one for the rs7. I can already tell it would take a bit of work to install it but I like chalenges lol

Nah, it is really easy to install. The splitter is fiberglass andboth it and the bumper are super easy to drill through.The two center struts are thin wall tubes with a much smaller diameter bolt through the middle. You can just eyeball it and get them dead even/center.You do not have to be dead on measuring, as you can move the strut brace thingies around quite a bit on their bolts. The sides of the splitter you just drill some small pilot holes for drywall screws. 3 or 4 each side. I thought this was a cheasy mounting system myself at first... I found out the hard way why they chose not to bolt it down like crazy. I hit an animal carcass running 85mph in the dark on the interstate, I believe it was left over deer... Anyways it cracked the splitter perfectly in two, right between those 2 front struts. No other damage to the car. Anything more than drywall screws would have destroyed my front end, possibly my a/c condensor, radiator.... The only way you would now anything happened is if you crawl under the front end and found the bolt holes. It took me and a friend 1 hour to install.

WOW just got mine and was thinking that the drywall screws for install was not looking to sturdy... abit nervous rollin with this seems like it would just rattle off after awhile! can you line up the exsiting bolt holes that hold the front end on and use the stock oem screws for mounting?
