Thanks @Sluggonaut. I knew what I wanted, but didn't know what to search - "clevis" and "jaw jaw turnbuckle" were not words in my vocabulary lol

How is the black bracket attached? Is there another bracket behind that bolted in front of (or behind) the upper control arm?
The black bracket is my harbor freight tow bar mount. It is bolted through the tube where the upper control arm originally mounted (I moved the mount for my setup).

That's going to throw everyone for a loop trying to figure out how to bolt through the shock mount 'ear'.

Got my splitter finished up today.
Using supports really firms it up! Before adding them it was possible to push down on it and see it flex.
I had custom pins made that utilize the tow bar mount. Using the retaining pins on the top will allow them to be removed easily when I tow the car. (Which isn’t often)

Took mine for its first drive. I have to say the primary reason I got it was for the look. Well I took it out in Mexico and hit 115 MPH. Holly carp was the front end planted. I didn’t expect that big of a difference

Little things make a big difference. One important one is sealing up the big open space under the nose and making a flat surface back to the b-pillar. This reduces front end lift as much or more than having the air split by the flat plane of the splitter. And the open hole (if you have it) for the heat exchanger is minimized for disruption of the under car airflow.

You can’t say Mexico, you have to say the Canadian wilderness lol.

A little late getting this on but it works great. Trying to show the hood scoop underneath too.

Did you buy a scoop or make it? If bought, which one?

It looks like the same one I used, other than it’s in the forward position, not backwards

It’s the one Rttoys shared, in the forward position like he said.
