Preferrably someone who installed it himself. Did you have to remove your front bumper to install the splitter off the car and then put the bumper back on with the splitter already attached?

I've got it. If you have a lift you do not have to remove the front bumper, but you do have to remove the wheel wells, it's not an easy job. Have two people. It is an extremely high quality piece and worth every penny. I absolute love mine and it completely changes the look on the car. The front end is much more stable at 100mph+ speeds. Now I'm forced to get the matching spoiler

I installed mine. I found it easier to remove the bumper cover, which is not difficult. The instructions are excellent, including photos, on how to do that. It fits excellent.

Did anyone use the inner bumper reinforcement? I've also been trying to decide between the APR Version 1 and the ZR1 style splitter. I plan on the using the support either way. Any good pics of the V1 installed, by chance?

The APR version one splitter does not require any bumper support only the version two. I installed my version one without even lifting the car.
