Some of the predrilled holes in the splitter did not match up exactly with the existing bolts on the underside of the front bumper cover. I compensated for the variance by drilling out the holes in the splitter.

Your lucky. I was told 5-10 days and it took right at a month.

My car isn't lowered so after installation of the GTX splitter, I still have 5.5 inches of clearance at the front edge which is enough to clear most speed bumps and driveway entrances. Side skirt clearance just behind the front whees is 4.75 inches. My last car was lowered with a front splitter and the clearance was only 3 inches and scraping was a frequent occurrence.
