Splitter install help

crd550 · 08-15-2019, 04:12 PM

I purchased a front splitter for my car. Fitment looks good and the screw holes line up great with the OEM bumper screws. The only issue is the screws they sent are too short and do not seem to match the OEM screws. I have added pictures of the screws. Has anyone had luck finding comparable screws which are longer?

You'll have to use different screws and what not. I actually use nuts, bolts and washers just to make sure it doesn't come off along with Gorilla double sided tape!

How do you remove the undertray with that setup?

When I did my lip, I just bought longer screws from ACE hardware. I wanna say they were 2 inches.

I did get some Gorilla double sided tape and added it along with the standard double sided tape it had. Hoping it makes it though the winters.

Found it on eBay actually, it is made by Good Go. It is for 2014 and up M Sport. Fitment as I mentioned looks good. Can post pictures when I get it on.

I did try get some from Home Depot. The thread length matches but the screw thickness between the threads are a little too thick. They are #10 1 1/2 inch screws. Do not want to cross thread them in though.

Finally got round to picking up some longer screws and installing it. Came out great, the fitment is great too. Lined up well.
