Just asked and have my tracking number. Heading this way now! Arrive Thursday. I ordered about four weeks ago (which is what was advertised). Probably a little too excited for car parts. 😁😁
Arrived today! I only opened the side skirts but it looks like top quality painting and well packed too. I'll be having the dealer install them for me.
Thanks Chris.

Got mine, one of the side skirts had some marks in the clear. Reached out and they offered to take it back and correct it. Already had them unpacked so verified how they would correct it, some polishing compound and a wheel, I have that so I did it myself and removed most of it. Sides were easy to install, hardware and instructions were included. The front splitter didn’t have any instructions or mounting hardware. Logic dictated the main set of holes lined up with the existing 8mm bolts. So I used them and went and bought similar stainless steal screws for the other 10 holes. Everything looks good!
What are the double sided pieces of tape with the stage 2 splitter for?
I received the RPI splitter with two 3 inch pieces of double sided tape already affixed to the splitter. Without instructions (how difficult is it to send a copy?), I’m assuming the tape is instead of - or in addition to - the rivets (that were also not supplied).
I removed the double sided tape as it is totally unnecessary wihen using rivets. Also, I would not have used the tape in lieu of rivets.
Also had to severely elongate one of the splitter’s mounting holes closest to the spat on the drivers side for it to mount without being warped and to match the same winglet/spat clearance as the passenger side.
The splitter looks great, but “points off” for RPI’s lack of instructions, hardware and precise fitment.

I received 3 pieces of tape in a bag with no instructions. The splitter is predrilled for the rivets so I would assume its meant to be installed with rivets and not just tape.
Mine has a bump under the passenger side winglet that's not supposed to be there. I'm hoping that once the winglet is installed you wont be able to see it.
I'm not looking forward to installing this. I love how vendors respond right away when you ask a question about buying a product but are MIA when you need help after you buy something.
Why would they not include instructions, literally makes no sense.

Despite the lack of written directions, the install is pretty straightforward. I used Race Ramps to get under the car, removed 10 factory 7mm bolts and drilled out 10 rivets. Also removed the lower plastic tray (couple more 7mm bolts and four 10 mm bolts) to enable removal of the drilled out rivet remnants. Everything pretty much lined up except as I mentioned earlier - the splitter’s pre drilled hole next to the drivers side spat needed to be elongated. I used a round file until I could visually see the holes line up. Reinstalling the factory bolts and new rivets was easy once everything lined up.
i would contact RPI and get a replacement for the defective winglet.
Where are you located in NE PA?

Yeah I’m not worried about installing it, I was just wondering what the tape was for since there is no instructions. First I thought they were for the winglets but then I realized there are 3 pieces. I don’t plan on using the tape. I’m going to rivet it in just like you did.
Im in the Lehigh valley area, how about you?
