Anyone know of a cheaper splitter? I can't justify paying 250$ plus for a cosmetic upgrade lol.

Does the Triple R come with those turnbuckle extra supports, or did you add them yourself?

Hmmm that looks pretty good. Is that the stuff that comes in a roll?

Yes. Clean the area well, make sure its hot enough and take your time. Quick clean with a bumper wax/cleaner. Worse case you spend $30.

EZlip x2. Love it on my last few cars. Knockoffs can be had for $20 and they're about the same, I've used both the real and copy.

Perfectly if installed on a clean and warm surface paying attention to receive stress in tight curves. It uses 3m tape same as emblems.

I had done this way back in 2005 on my SRT-4, before this was a product really. I just went to Home Depot and bought some garage door weather stripping, which is exactly what this stuff is. Now I sort of laugh because it was a bit ricey in hindsight.

But the question I always wondered was whether or not this rubber stuff flaps or bends while you're at speed. I've yet to have the chance to observe another car with this stuff on the move.

Eye of the beholder on that one, personal preference. Any one else tells you otherwise than they have ulterior motive.

If it laps/bends at speeds it did not show any wear, so good for me.

I'll put money on it that it bends back as you increase speed. The density of this rubber most likely will stop it from flapping like a sheet of paper in the wind. Do you have any pics of it installed and how did you go about Installing it...3m two sided take or push pins or screws/bolts?

Nah it was back in 2005, I didn't take any pictures when I installed it on the car. The rubber from Home Depot actually came with the 3m tape pre-installed just like this other stuff they are selling. I'm pretty certain that they are literally just buying the same product cheap from the manufacturer but marketing it to car people and raising the price.
