I am still tweaking the splitter to fit perfectly, here is what Ive gotten so far...
I have three 1/2 inch spacers between the bumper and splitter in the center three slots and then the rest of the bolts snug up against the bumper.
Seems to be "level" now, although I will get a level on it and check a couple spots to be sure...damn OCD! lol
Then I will pull everything back off, smooth the beveled edge a little bit (came trimmed but unfinished) so I will sand that with some 320 grit and then paint the splitter black along with all the hardware I will be using.

Thank you...just needed a little thought and experimenting with different size spacers, washers, etc but found what works now and looks great!
There you go! I have washers top and bottom of the spacer along with a larger washer underneath the nuts so it doesnt pull the bumper down and distort it. Idk if theres a way to make a reinforced bar to go over the 3 bolts or not but that would help alot! Let me know if you make one though!
