Default Front Splitter

Putting on a JW front splitter and side rails,do you think I will need to put on some Fat Daddys to protest the splitter when backing out of my driveway? It scrapes the air dam now.

Back out at an angle and you will be fine. If you forget you will scrape it. Ask me how I know

I'm not sure if the rollers hang low enough below the splitter.

It looks like an ACI splitter. They are actually about one half to an inch higher than the stock center air dam. I have one on mine and as long as I back out on an angle, I do not have an issue. If your car is lowered, that might be a different story.
