APR Splitter Support Rods Install...

[Elohite]

I have been wanting to install support rods for many months...
I have the deval splitter and never liked how the splitter sorta veered upwards due to the way the bumper is shaped.
I wanted to get support rods so I could have it hang lower and that more aggressive look.
Finally bought some support rods during december and did the install today
Finished in the dark so i'll take better pics, but prob in a few weeks...
Excuse the car being dirty from all the rain and what not...

Before:

interesting...

[apatchin]

...even though they are functional, I always think these looks kinda bad ass.

could u take a couple photos further out.

I prefer solid aluminum instead!

[CZA420tAvant]

is that seam between your bumper and fender a little gappy?

The splitter looks nice, like the hangers.

[Cargo8]

looks very niceeee! a la ac schnitzer kind of. - definitely works for your car

how do u connect those rods to the carbumper?

[juggernaut201]

hell yea that makes it look badd ass bro good shit ... and i love that hood i gotta get myself one of those

[Bllzll]

sorry, but i think this looks stupid as hell and pretty pointless

[Bllzll]

then again, i guess it works with your theme of the car

[p1nk50ck]

wow, did you find some mouse poop in your cereal this morning? what's with all of the negative energy?

[DTMa42.0t]

That looks so hard! I love it!

[Grishbok]

aesthetically, very appealing, practically i think that would increase your drag coefficient too much for effective undercar throughput, but should increase airflow onto the intercoolers, marginal unless at high speed.

[INTEGRATION]

I think you did a good job with that install! Not only did you add on a functional part but it doesn't look bad imho aesthetically.

whats negative about thinking that it works with the theme of his car??

[Grishbok]

the way it was written made it imply you thought the theme of his car was "stupid as hell" along with the original assesment of his front lip spoiler.

arrogant..its the zine alright

[Sharkfin]

I think it looks jdm tunerish and that's not a bad thing necessarily

[Quattro]

never been a fan of the rods, but they look good.

[06B7audiA4]

truthfully in this case, there helping to support the spoiler, im not sure.

USER: did u drill at all or this spliterr or is it help on by double sided tape then with the new pieces to hold even more???

[dj_dub]

Looks good bro! I had the same look on my golf...

[06B7audiA4]

Looks hot!

[B7A4Sport]

Looks awesome, Elo!

RAVI is another A4 (thought a B6) that really pulled off the support arm look - his front end looked super mean!

Drilled on into the bumper and the cf lip. Install does require removal of bumper and took me afternoon - evening with me taking my time and with breaks.

And yes these are FULLY FUNCTIONAL and actually makes the deval splitter look level and lot better instead of veered upwards as compared to when I just had it drilled onto the bumper .

Looks awesome, Elo!

Yeah Ravi pulled it off well.
I think I might be the first B7 to do it ... not sure as I haven't seen anyone else running this.

[SGVA4]

I digg it...I liked your Z on before and I digg your b7 now...both had similar mods

[MurderedA4*20]

you should do something different with the hood or paint it silver again.. but besides that car looks amazing..

[Larson7.62]

Looks badass! Love it!

[SDA4]

looks so good, I am considering doing this because of your car.

[4RingRook]

I like it.

Think it looks good.

[djvice]

is that seam between your bumper and fender a little gappy?

x2...like a gaptooth bitch. Hehehe, all kidding aside, the rods flow well with the car!

[9Hooker]

1) it goes with your theme. looks ok.

2) the theme is not awesome. lose the tow hook. you know what they do with a wreck on the track? they get the tow truck and wheel your tube framed ass out of the rubber wall. it's clown shoes. you think you are helping aerodynamics of the car with a splitter, or making the splitter 1/4 inch lower? you say it's for looks only. ok, i'll give you that you acknowledge the fact it has no actual use. it's the equivalent of rice, kraut. to each his own though.

[9Hooker]

dj_dub. please tell me those are reclining sparco's. do/did you really need 4/5/6 point harnesses? functioning seat belt still?

[Elohite]

Thanks man

i think ur not awesome. haha.
you dont know anything about my car, why i mod, or me
the tow hook was a joke, i know the a4s place as a car
all joking aside i had fun doing the project and still need to adjust it as of now



but yeah anyone got question's about the install or anything feel free to PM me
sorry i never saw replies to this thread till now

[elwigglero]

Not my cup of tea, but the install looks clean. Well done.

Love your wheels.

[harryd14]

loving the look Elohite... i think they look sick and have always been a big fan of them, and as another guy said, reminds of of AC Schnitzer a bit... and dont worry about all the negativity, in the end its your car and not theirs and they aren't driving it anyways! keep up the good modding, i've always been a fan of your car!

[scoobycarolan]

That's hot.

[eMacPaul]

I dunno... personally it seems like fancy zip-ties, to me... a well-designed product shouldn't need them.

[euro20th]

i like it a lot..it looks good man..where did you get the roof rack from..i can't find that anywhere!! well i found some but didn't really like it..but i like yours!

[Tusin]

The rods are not my thing, but they do go perfect with the theme you are after. But the roof-rack doesn't. But I assume you actually have a use for it;)

[CBRmatt600]

WTF does option spec mean?

And I don't exactly see how those things are considered "functional". If by functional you mean, they function to prop up the non-functional splitter, then sure I guess they are functional.

And LOL at 5 point harnesses in a street car without a roll cage. Watch out Vin Diesel.

[Bllzll]

^ easy noob... no need for the unnessesary bashing

if we were in the middle of a conversation in this thread and disucssing the functionality of this, then maybe your comment could be justified.

but to bump an old thread, just to write that garabge is completly not needed
