Mirkoracing Splitter Install

I used Dzus fasteners on mine. Parkedcar and Brapple use them also. The size was .650, IIRC.
Easy on/easy off.
FYI: The metal bracket that comes with the Mirko will not fit without some modification.
I didn't use the bracket, some will disagree with me (Goonz
), but Brapple and Parkedcar don't use the bracket either.

I just put 1 screw on each end.... for 2 years now. Never had a problem. Plus there small screws. So the holes don't show when i have the mirko off the car.
By the way install a thin sheet of foam on the sides. So it doesn't tear up the paint from rubbing with the fiberglass.

Can I see some pics of the cars with the fasteners?
i think that you can find some more if you search the old forums ...
What's even better is to line the entire inner side of the mirko with peel-n-stick felt from Michaels.
The what?
And the holes you have to drill with the Dzus's are like the size of a nickel right?
the stay or bumper support ... it is a rod that runs from the subframe to the corner of the bumper, the 98s had it but then I think it was decontented ... #4 in the pic ...
as for the size of the hole for the mirko, a nickle sounds about right ...

I used the given brackets, they hold the mirko firmly and are connected then to the front subframe. IMO thats the way to go for a more stable mirko. Those fasteners look huge..plus it takes 5 min to take mine off :shrug: I used the small bolt and nut they supplied for the sides as well, once touched up, you cant tell they are even there..
