Front splitters back on. Just wanted to share some tips on fitting these because I had to redo it once.
Tips when using 3m tape:
1. Pull off just enough tape to pull
2. align the part where you want it to be
3. Pull the tape to get it to stick
4. Stand back and appreciate the fitment

Tips when fitting splitters:
1. Ensure tape on the corners as this is most important for it to look perfect
2. Tape the one closest to the grill first to ensure it doesn't stick out
3. Follow the 3m tape tips above so u get it in the perfect position first before u make it stick

Note:
high quality aftermarket splitters are IMO just as good as the genuine ones. Aftermarket parts might require sanding corners for fitment.
Aftermarket ones are thicker so feels more reliable but they are heavier(double the weight) than genuine ones.
Aftermarket one looks nicer as it's more aggressive and is way cheaper (less than $300 while genuine is gonna cost $1500)
