Triple R Splitters Back in Stock at FSWERKS!

[MMMTRBO]

I know these can be hard to come by here in the states, so I figure I'd throw it out there! According to the site, 8 left at the moment.

I want one bad but I've heard they're a major pita to install due to European bumper differences.

Doesn't seem horrble based on this how-to http://fiestast.net/threads/how-to-triple-r-splitter-install.467/

Maybe some others can chime in with their experiences. Dave?

I never thought it was that bad.
Even though it came with no instruction, it only took me about an hour to install.
It does fit our bumper very well, however some of the predrilled holes are wrong but this is no problem as you can't see them anyway.
I also added a spacer in the center because I thought it had too much flex and I didn't want it moving in the wind.


The wright up that Joe did about a year ago is quite good and I made a few comments there.

If anyone has any specific questions I would be happy to help.

Those that have seen my car will tell you it is very low and this makes any front splitter subject to damage from low flying birds.
This is why I purchased a second (blemished) one.
They are made of fiberglass and easy to repair.

Hmm. I didn't even think of clearance being a problem. Would it be a pain to daily with one?

Mine is a daily driver and the splitter has been on for over a year now.
It is not an issue unless you car is very low as mine is.
Also I have recently made a few mistakes.
This is also why I kept it black, normally touch up only takes a little paint.
Unfortunately a piece of pipe came off a truck in front of me and took a small bite out.

All in all,
I like the look.
So I am willing to do the required maintenance.

Thanks Dave, I've got a couple of questions:

1. What was the hole diameter of the three 20 mm rubber (or nylon, in your case) washers used?
2. What is the thread size of the trim screw needed?

Thanks. Just ordered my triple R splitter. Only 4 left.

thanks for posting.... however, I'm still on the fence in pulling the trigger on this one....Has anyone reported seeing any issues with fine finish cracks or splits since it is made of fiberglass? Any feedback would be much appreciated...thanks!

The nylon spacer I used for the middle was from Lowes it had a 1/4 inch hole in the center and I cut it to length but I used a 3/16 inch bolt.
I did not want mine to come off so I used 3/16 inch bolts with fender washers and nylock nuts.
It is all put on in such a way so that it will come of with the bumper cover.
That is to say that I do not need to remove the splitter to remove the bumper cover.

Thanks. Just ordered my triple R splitter. Only 4 left.

I could not sleep early this morning, got up at 4am to have a look at emails and saw FSwerks had them I snapped up the 5th one left. Been waiting 6 months and now just one more week for the UPS man. Just love getting Christmas early !

I am going to wait for six more months.. My current apartment's garage has two 30+ degree angle ramps..

Nice! They must've gotten some cancellations or extra with their order because mid day yesterday it said "sold out". Mine comes in today Hoping its blemish free

 

[PumkinSVT]

One was being held for someone but they never showed up. I bought a slighty blemished one.

 

[westcoaST]

Picked my splitter up this afternoon from FSWERKS. Picking up my 2pt and 6 pt bars Saturday from Pierce.

 

[MMMTRBO]

Mine came in today too. Really happy with the way it looks considering its supposed to be "ready for paint".

I still might paint it mostly because of how clean it looks paint matched in this photo.

Did it come with mounting instructions?
