Got this from forum member Fbird.
Cut it into 3 pieces to save 3/4 the cost of shipping- high-level math here and sacrilegious to cut this thing up- fit in a small box, lol. Seems like everyone has an old purple towel to wrap stuff up in.
Back together, here is what is looks like on the car- no splitter, just the bumper. There was a question in another thread about how far the hood opens.
My frame to ground ride height is 4". The bottom edge of the bumper is also 4" from the ground.
From the pics I'd say you could perform some routine fluid-type checks on the motor but not really wrench on it.
I'll eventually add a splitter (likely cheap plywood like luan- annoying that the bottom of bumper is not totally flat across - higher in the center- looks cool, but...).
In the autocross pic it was just taped on with Gorilla Tape- drove to and from the venue like that- no issues. I then painted it with Summit single stage urethane Wimbledon white- it's blue now, though- got bored this afternoon.

Dzus fittings make it quickly removable.
I'd say this is a track-only item. It will hit stuff on the street and damage itself and perhaps the nose and it's mountings.
I'll try it at the drags and HPDE at Sonoma Raceway in two weeks (back to back testing with data)- I expect zero differences but it's something to do.
