front splitter support rods? near sf?
does anyone know where i can find the APR universal splitter support rods in stock near san francisco. or better yet, a cheaper alternative... i'm not sure what i would ask for at a hardware store.
got nailed by a tire blowout in front of me on saturday on the way to fairfield. avoided the car luckily, but i hit the tire squarely and it ripped out the plastic surrounding the bolts only in the center of my v-lim replica lip. the side mounts are fine but now the center of my lip is just hanging there and i got a nasty stare from an SFPD officer this morning.
this is the second time in 6 months a flat tire debris has destroyed front end pieces

get some 3m body molding+kit tape. even some duct tape underneath might work for a while.
those support braces are pretty ricey, imo.

lip cracked before i could get to it...
time for new lip... but in the mean time... i'm going to cut the middle and leave the side pieces a la 04/05 splitters and see how it looks... i'm sure i'll take it off in like a week..
