Chassis Mount Splitter

I've got an APR splitter and it's pretty solid but it's only bolted to the bumper.
Ideally this is not the best setup.

Does anybody know if I bought the GTS/CS lip supports that attach to the frame, if this would allow me to bolt an APR splitter to it?

I don't know what the splitter supports look like without a splitter connected to it.
If anybody has some information please let me know.

I have this setup and it works. The GTS splitter bracket sits at the same level, making reinforcing the mounting super easy.

If you need specific pictures let me know.

Yes. Post pics! I'd like to see it as well. I've been thinking about fabricating my own.

This is great. Could you post some pics so I can see how it's done?

I grabbed a quick picture. Apologies for the mess, it's a track car.
The bolts are leveled off with a few bushings to fill the gap between the bracket and the surface of the splitter.

I noticed the apr splitter is now slightly lower on your car than mine without the brackets.
After the brackets is there enough room between the bumper and the splitter to install the plastic oil cooler duct as well as the triangle pieces on the sides?

The plastic oil cooler duct is still intact, I’m not sure about the “triangle pieces”, maybe a diagram could help? I can also try and post some more pictures if you need!
