I have an ACI front splitter on my car and I was wondering how the nutplate strips look? I made a few templates to make my own but need to know if the middle mount bolt is tied in with the 2 mount bolts on either side of that bolt. When I bought this splitter it didn't come with the nut plate strips that need to go on the inside of the front bumper cover so I used wide fender washers and nuts. I took mine off yesterday to get it repainted so I thought it would be a good time to make them so it will be easier to take off next time if/when it needs it again.
Also, if anyone has a part number for the right ones I'd love to see how much they are. If they are available and reasonably priced I may just buy them instead.
Just sent ACI (American Custom Industries) an email to see those nut strips are even available to purchase. I'll post back here on what I find out and hope they aren't to expensive. I'll be making some or purchasing some but either way I'll have some.
So I checked my email on my tablet this evening and I see that the outbox has 1 email in it. Look at it and sure enough it's the email I thought got sent last week to ACI. That's the reason I haven't heard anything from them I hope. So it got sent again and I'll see if they respond. Hope they do.
Thanks, that helps a great deal and it looks like the center bolt is on a nut plate by itself. By chance does that paperwork have a part number list for the original parts needed to install it in case someone would need them?

Unfortunately, it does not. The folks at ACI were very helpful for me. I would call them directly. The plates come with speed nuts and bolts and are included with the spoiler.
So I sent the email again Sunday that I found did not send the first time last week. They responded yesterday and I have a plan now to purchase the correct mounts for it. Now I don’t have to make them or figure anything else out. Customer service is pretty quick and good with this company. Thanks for the help MAD Matt.
I’ve had the spoiler installed for quite a few years now but have never had the mounting hardware. I had it installed with nuts and wide area washers. Just wanted the removal/installation to be easier next time so I don’t have to stick my arm into the bumper cover anymore.
