I even dug it in deep enough in the gravel that it literally shoveled gravel over the top. I would expect the mounting bolts to bend and the Aluminum support brace to bend prior to the splitter actually breaking.
As for ease of removal it goes on and off with 8 bolts, 4 on the corners of the bumper cover and 4 on the sub-frame. So if you need to remove it isn't tough. But it is designed such that it won't have to come off for basic maintenance and/or towing; you can still do oil changes, check and/or fill your transmission, as well as get to your front tow hooks wiht the splitter installed.
Is there any plan for fitment on a 1g stealth? I really want to get this, but I don't want to have to get a new bumper too...
There is a plan but it is still in the works. The 1G stealth bumper cover is significantly shorter than all the others which means it will require an application specific option.Quote:

.I hear that. same here. That would be a good thing to cut out if possible even if it was just a 2" x 2" so some sort of jack could slip in to help support the front of the car. I hate putting pressure on the sides if I can avoid itQuote:
