Also I just realized why you guys are getting sag. You have to bolt the sides deep into the wheelwells. In doing so it cause the center section to turn up and sit flush and not sag...
When you're are installing it you will have to pull it in, you will feel it resist, but that just means its pulling it up and not sagging.

. I think I know how to fix the sag now, but I would have to drill more holes and you would see the bolts afterwords, though.[/align][/align]Actually, where you have the splitter screwed into the bumper is closer to the center of the car than mine; maybe thats whats causing the problem (mine is screwed into the spot where the oem screw is (the one to the left of where you screwed the splitter on))[/align]

[/align][/align]I understand what you mean, but I actually did that (I bolted it in 3 places on each side actually) and it still sags.

You have to pull it more into the middle of the car, like I was trying to explain...

This is the only how-to that I could find since the search function on here is down.
The only two things that I would recommend different however. Is to not cut the entire section out. Only the crossbeam pattern in the same spot. Just like the pictures I posted earlier.
The second thing I would do different is, that I wouldn't use the factory spots as I have posted just recently.
