I actually have never been up there. When I get my wheels then I plan to go. A lot of my friends do go though.

Your the same guy that posted months ago with a rpf1 setup that made no sense. And you still haven't raised the car up or learned.. You've had the car a while as I remember your screen name....wow

Stress from the splitter is going to damage the lip. Also, that splitter is going to catch something and tear the lip off with it.

You can use Plastx for your headlights. It works for taking off and rough haze and fills in scratches. Then i would use a UV sealant to keep the headlights clear.

If you do not track your car it is not a good idea to run a splitter that creates front DF causing your rear to lift on a RWD car. Looking at the Splitter it seems to be pretruding way to far out and is causing drag which is affecting your MPG. Drag makes huge affects on MPG. A voltex wing with 275mm stands can take off 7-8 MPG. A splitter that is more then 2" will take off 4-5 mpg.

If you mean stress from weight then that isn't a problem, it's bolted to my frame, no hanging weight

And yea it probably sticks out 4 or so inches, so I'm sure you're right about the mpg, but I don't mind. And yea I know it creates downforce among with drag and if I was to track it I'd get a cr or ap2 wing to balance it out. And I plan to get my friend to restore the headlights to mint condition at his shop, I'm just busy most of the time, but I'll get it done

Like I said, I've been driving with it for over a week, every day. You just have to pay close attention to what coming ahead, you may not believe it, but it doesn't scrape nearly as bad as you'd think.
