A tale of two air splitters, spoiler alert! Options

[worn]

I am almost ready to lower the red 3.2 off the stands. New rubber on the wheels. I like the look of the LE front air dam, so I bought one. Mikey/Mark was listing them as unavailable, so I bought one from a fairly well known vendor, but not one we either love or hate. The result was...short


It fits completely inside my old beat-up one. Making a fitment problem - it is actually inside the pinch weld!


By then it was available from 914-Rubber, so I bought one from them. I have a few criticisms below, but the take home message is this: It fit out of the box and I had it prepped for painting in 5 minutes cause the finish was great. What a difference! The vendor for the first one would give me my money back, but I had to then turn the thing loose for recirculation - schlepped to someone else. Too much hassle, but that is why they remain anonymous.

As for the 914 rubber product, it is a bit light, so I am sure to tear it off. But that is expected and then it will get reinforcement. I would have liked the fastener clips to come along with it, if you have an eye to improvement Mark. I had to paw around in the bins to find the clips and screws to mount it. Ohh, how I suffered.
On the other hand I would have literally had to cut the other one in half, feather the ends and reglass and sand to make it fit. By then the light wight would no longer be a problem, but fer heaven's sake!
