6LE Carbon Fiber Splitter installed on my Black WS6 So finally got my 6LE Carbon Fiber Splitter installed on my Black WS6 today. Took me a while to get all the correct parts but Mark worked with me through the whole way and helped me out.
Installing this took me about 3 hours by myself and I totally recommend anyone that plans on installing one of these to definitely have someone to help out otherwise have a lot of styrofoam (like I did because I just bought a new dining room table) to help assist in installing this thing. I also had a lot of problems but I didn't run mine all the way out infront of the car like most people do so I used a dremel to trim the back up a little bit and I had a bit of fitment problems with the air dam I had to cut notches in the splitter to get it to fit.
The instructions recommend pulling the rainskirt down and premark the holes (since CF splitter doesnt have holes pre-dilled) but the problem for me was I didn't want it out that far so I placed it up and held it how i wanted it with styrofoam while I took a thin screwdriver (took all 4 skirt-to-bumper bolts out on each side) shoved my arm up in the access panel from below and made a scratch mark on the splitter carefully without moving it directly.
I didnt take any pictures step by step of installation because I was by myself and I was too busy keeping things lined up so if anyone plans on buying one let me know and I will PM with you if you have questions.

Went outside just before dusk fell and snapped off some shots played with brightness so you could see, see attachments to first post. Sorry about the jack stands but waiting on my denso o2 sensors to come in before I drop the car. So I will put some nice pictures up to help your judgement once I get it off the stands.

I think you need to move it out some, it seems pushed back to far from those side shots. Otherwise, that CF looks really good. Much nicer then my plain black one ..

Yeah the curve on the sides threw me off because they dont flow perfectly with the bumper and they stick out 3 inches further than the center does. Honestly I thought it needed to come out some more also but I didnt like the sides under the turn signal sticking out any further and once you drill the holes in the front you own it there is not much more you can do about it unless I want three giant drilled holes showing.
