Mounting nose aluminum sides with front spliiter

[Brando]

Since using the front splitter omits the nose aluminum floor, it also removes the mounting points to keep the nose aluminum sides running straight.
I was going to bend the nose aluminum sides inward to remain flush with the square tubing and rivet it to that tubing. The only hesitation is the air holes I cut into the front bumper would no longer route air into the radiator.

Should i even be concerned with this? How are you mounting the front ends of your nose aluminum sides when using a front splitter?

I did it just as you said. The small vents can just cool the brakes or in my case just look cool.LOL.

Were you able to get a rivet into the 4" rear most point of the aluminum sides or did you just glue and tape it.

When you pulled in the sides it also pulls in your front wheel inside splash guard too? How did you address that?

I was looking at this last night, and I think I'll be using both the aluminum centre panel and splitter. It's inevitable that I'll need to repair/replace the splitter, so having the aluminum there will be good for driving while it's off.

Both can be installed at the same time?

I just made it work the best I could. I kind of made sure the splash guard would clear and be out of the way. I ended up putting a rivet in the front splash guard to the front clip near the headlight as well.

I thought of trying to use both as well. I'm also considering taking some foam, glue to bottom and a layer of fiberglass to add rigidity.
