ToySnobs · 01-20-2020, 01:50 PM

Hey guys - I just had my OEM Lip install and its not lining up with the splitters ... everything else is perfect except this.

Any idea what might be the issue ??

Looks like you aren't using the OEM splitters. The OEM splitters don't sit flush on the bumper. They change the shape to look more aggressive thus lining up with the OEM lip.

Better hope those aren't installed with Betalink, otherwise those splitters are taking the paint with them when they come off

OEM splitters stick out a couple inches past the front spoiler which is why you have a gap there. Hopefully it will be easy for you to remove those aftermarket ones.

There are two types of CF splitters styles:

1. Smaller (non OEM), designed to run without MP style lips for stock look but with CF cosmetics.
2 Larger (OEM size), designed to run with MP lips.

Putting 1 on looks way better than 2 if you do not run with the MP lips.
