Yep, installed on my 2017 Grand Sport with Stage 2 Aero carbon fiber splitter. Thank Goodness as ~2 weeks after I scraped going out a very step driveway in town. Went up and an angle and slow. Could not back into traffic the same way! Scraped several other times and the Scrape Armor took the punishment and splitter was fine! My contact was ~5 years ago - no idea about contact now.

1/2 install


Fully Installed


Scraped! It protrudes ~3/16 further than splitter bottom and takes the abuse. The Teflon like material slides over the ground and pushed splitter up BUT no damage. Note my fault, screw was supposed to be recessed, corrected after this 1st scrape.
