If the guys are professional and know their job, then they have a lot of gaskets, small boards and useful little things. If this is a professional transport, then there is nothing to attach and remove. Post a transport photo here.

We transport the Porsche GT3 and do not remove anything on the bumper.

Congrats on the purchase.

Mine was delivered to me without the splitter installed and in stock ride height. Front end gains considerably clearance without it installed, and you avoid potential scraping and damage. No reason not to have it removed.

With or without the splitter installed, they'll need to be experienced in loading low ground clearance cars and have the necessary tools.

I load mine onto a trailer, track ride height with splitter installed and extended. But that requires a low angle race ramp system long enough to land a 737.

Yes, it would be interesting to see a photo of how a car is loaded onto an transporter.

When I sold my first GTS it was loaded onto the truck without removing the splitter. And reputable shipper well versed in transporting sports cars should have no problem.

I transported mine from CA to WI this past spring with Reliable Carriers. Car was at track setting with front splitter retracted. No problems with delivery. Good company.

I used Reliable enclosed transport when shipping my old E92 vert from CA to TX.

Very professional, no problems, Good communication. I would use them again if I have to ship another car across country. Including my GTS.

There was an actual Formula One car (historic) in the same truck with my M3.

If they are professionals, there is nothing to worry about. Make sure they know what they're doing. Maybe ask them whether they would remove something or not. I think their response will show if they're professionals or not.
