Default Front splitter

How much time does it take to replace the front factory splitter on a 2011 Grand Sport. Thanks

Depends on your skill level and which garage words that you use!

Basic black plastic factory splitter? 20 minutes tops. Less if you have an air wrench to remove all the little bolts vs a ratchet. Then it's a 10 minute job.

It's the same for the ZR-1 style carbon fiber splitter unless you're installing the internal support for the fascia. That requires you to remove the fascia (aka front bumper).

Electric screwdriver and a 7mm socket I believe. It will take you longer to raise to front end so you can use the electric screwdriver than it will to replace to splitter.
