Yes the left and right pieces are removed and the center piece is retained. I do scrape when I back out of my drive but ever so slightly. I think that if I cut it hard it will not touch at all. I will see how it goes. I may have a piece of stainlees cut to fit and attach it. I have a post where an other member did it to his.

Looks great. Did you do the engine paint as well? What did you use?

Black splitter looks great, I hate when stuff like this comes up it goes directly to my mods to do list. BTW never considered a splitter until seeing it in black. Very nice.

Looks great I like the contrast, I am also considering the ACI spoiler and their side skirts on my pewter vert. with black top and painting both the spoiler and side skirts matte black to match the lower rear area that I just painted matte black. My question is what is the extreme grade that you can take at an angle as it is now I scrape the rubber a bit as I enter and exit my driveway. I may have to go with just side skirts. Thanks for reply

First thanks for the comment. As for the driveway issue, I go out at about a 45 degree and it still scrapes a very small amount but no were near what the original air dam did. I am going to try a steeper angle next time I take it out, which will be early Saturday.
