I'm going to more than likely try and get the splitter and set it aside in the garage. But I just dont know if the dealer will be willing to give me the new splitter without giving back the one on the car now. Also, it worries me that they need 2 days to install this. Thanks again everyone.

I'd think that since they have offered to make good for you. You can just ask them to order it and allow you to pick up from parts department.

[QUOTE=Firemedic301;1597020479]See if they will buy and install the Protekt protector?
Thanks Firemedic!

If you plan on "driving" the car these are consumable pieces like brake pads, rotors and tires. Probably a different story if you're a car show/cruise-in/waxer owner.
I wish my dealer damaged mine like yours. I'd have them order and give me the new one and store it until an off track excursion destroys the one they scratched.
I've always wondered why "drivers" would ever order these pieces in carbon fiber as they're consumables. I'm on my 3rd front splitter and second set of side skirts. Side skirts and splitters get ripped off easily sliding through a gravel trap or bouncing through grass.
I keep a spare set of skirts and splitter at the track. I order my pieces in primer from ACS and paint them with a rattle can and they look great until they get consumed. Food for thought...
