really want to get a splitter, but id be pointless

Why would getting a splitter be pointless? It looks nice with a nismo bumper.

Oh yea it looks nice^, but I'll break the splitter in a day at my height, no joke. Plus I got rid of my kuruma because I wanted more ground clearance, and the nismo gave me about 1/2 an inch more clearance.

deemo, did you install the splitter yourself? how hard is it to take off/put it on?

not hard at all, ive installed a splitter before for my friends nismo, only part that would complicate things is if you add 3m tape, kind of hard to take it off with it.

no, a local member who owns a body shop did. he screwed it on to the bumper. I'm not sure if you want to/or even can you, keep on pulling it on and off.

Get it. You could still use it for daily driving with no problem. We installed a friend's splitter on his Inven front with some screws but also cut out a piece of flat wood to keep it steady and to take the damage of the scrapes he'll encounter down the road. You can't see the wood at all since we cut it very very flat.

Once Dustin finishes the Kuruma splitter, I'm going to pick that up and install it the same way.

I like my hood though. I love the way it looks. I just hate the way it was made. Poor craftsmanship with such a steep price.

Yeah, I saw the pics of how it warps with little pressure. Just crazy. Still, your coupe is quite clean.
