No pics yet bc it was getting dark. One thing I will say is the install is fairly easy and the fit is fantastic. Basically 100% perfect. I've read where one guy said something needed to be trimmed but not on mine at all.
The only bad thing is I couldn't drill as instructed to better secure the front and back area but its on there pretty dang good. I did it by myself by driving the car on rhino ramps, then jacking up the rear and putting the axel on two jack stands. FYI You'd need at least another 4 - 6" to get a drill under there though.
The tabs and holes all lined up perfectly. I just put like the 3rd tab down on, then worked from there once the one was holding the splitter on. It helps if you kind of wiggle the tab as you push in. Its pretty easy just push w your thumb. Then once it's on you just pull off adhesive tape, push up against rocker to secure adhesive strip, then I used the handle of a screwdriver to hammer the tabs all the way in. Pretty good subtle mod that makes a difference in appearance for sure.
It's worth it if you we're thinking about it. If anybody has any questions let me know.
Mine are sitting on the ground in my living room right now. Haven't decided on whether or not to tackle this on my own yet, or just suck it up and pay someone to do it. Did you seal the drilled holes with anything like paint or silicone?

Here's my question: would you still be able to use the scissor jack that comes with the spare tire? It would be entirely pointless for me to have a spare tire and jack in the car if I got these splitters and was unable to use the pinch welds to jack up the car in case of a flat or blowout because the splitters block the holes
How long did it take you to install? Can't wait for some pictures!
Took a lot of breaks bc my neck and back were hurting from moving around on the concrete. Maybe 2 1/2 hours? Didn't really pay attention.

Didn't drill. Didn't have room. I don't see any need to silicone anything. The tabs they give you w the kit just replace the factory ones. You just pull those out w needle nose pliers. You could do it yourself unless you feel the need to drill. I'm gonna have my wheel/tire shop drill the couple holes for me real quick when they rotate my tires prob in like a month but its fine for now. It's on there secure.

One great mod. They also help from getting stone rash on the sides of lower panels. I had an angle drill so using ramps were not necessary. Easy install.

took all 16 push pins off, cleaned the area, stuck it on there with the double sided tape and all of the push pins, nothing extra and ive washed the car like 4 times since then, gone trough rain and mud and it's on there good.

This^^ My right angle drill has paid for itself with jobs like this.... many times over! Used the 3m adhesion promoter on the taped areas and I don't think they'd come off without breaking!

No need to drill.
Here's how mine looks like
I sure do like that DIB and no spoiler look.. Very nice....

Great job and great looking DIB
I am waiting for my rockers, side splitters and rear valance to get back from the paint shop. Painting the rockers and rear valance PW to match and the Roush and carbon creations rear splitters Wood Brothers Racing red. Can't wait so I can put the car back together. Will post completed pics when done.

say you did drill and sold the car to someone who takes the splitters off...would there be nasty visible holes ? This is one of my future mods - not for the look like you guys though.Having these on decreases some of the air from rolling under the car - thus allowing higher speeds. and better handling. Just like the splitter up front. ...And that DIB spoilerless car is a bad-a$$ SPORT car !!
