You can get back there with a wrench, at least I did, but I have small hands lol

I thought I had small hands lol. I tried sticking a gear wrench in there but no luck. I happened to get my hand down far enough to slide it on, but I had no movement in my hand to wrench back and forth.

My hands will never fit. Sigh

Got my APR Splitter installed yesterday. Wow, that install was beast. Lack of instructions sucked. The look turned out awesome though!

It wasn't overly horrible, but was a lot of drilling lol. Getting the bumper off was a lot harder than the S197 though. There are two bolts that bolt it to the fender that are a PITA to get to.

Can you remove the APR logo?

This x10000 Your car looks amazing, but I'm starting to miss the "close to OEM" look that Comp Orange offers.

Getting a little too busy on the bottom lines of the car IMO. I had this same feeling when I had my Red '13 and started messing with the bottom lines of the car. I'm NOT being critical because your car is gorgeous, I just like a little less with Comp Orange because the color alone is AMAZING!!!!!

Lol! No I definitely like people to give me criticism, that goes with anything in life that I do. I see your point as it was a great looking car, even at the beginning.

It's really hard to explain, but it always seems that pictures don't do S550's justice, or anything that you do to them. The side splitters really look a whole lot different in person. They really make the bottom of the car flair out more so it appears wider, where as OEM kind of slimmed down in that area. I LOVED the side splitters on the S197, and your car, to the point to where it was almost a "Must have" for any S197. Maybe I just have a thing for splitters lol.

Even with bags this car is a struggle to get to go lower. So the splitters really helped make the "lower" appearance.

I do think I am going to peel of the APR sticker though. Wanted to get a feel for it first before I decided to take it off.

Lol! Thanks Chip! Thankfully I have the bags to help counter the dips and bumps.

You're dead on. I didn't like the S550 at all until I saw 1 in person, an then it was "DAMN, that's nice! It's strange how that works.
