Default 6le splitter possible with fmic and tubular bumper support?

I'm looking into purchasing the 6le splitter. My question is if anyone has this on their fmic car and what they had to do to support it so it doesn't rip your bumper off. Any help is much appreciated, thanks

My new build is nearly done & I'm starring at my splitter with this exact intention.
I plan to tap into the bumper support ( Burkhart) & secured it directly via bolts & spacers.
It looks completely doable.
It will be a few weeks or more before I get to that part of the project.

Doable, that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks

I don't have the splitter your asking about but I think what I did with my Burkhart bumper support and FMIC would work with the 6LE splitter. I built my own air scoop to support the bottom of the bumper and deflect air into the bottom of the radiator. I used 1/8" diamond plate to make this so its stiff and could support the 3 holes in the center of the bumper. I think you could make different linkage rods from the bumper to the air dam to sandwich the 6le plate in to place. Here's some pics to give you an idea that might work for you.

The 6LE splitter on my car doesn't go back that far. It has 3 holes drilled on the front bottom of the bumper cover. It stops right where the bumper cover starts curving back up towards the radiator.

No FMIC but I do have the tubular bumper support. Few straps or brackets will do the trick.
