[QUOTE="vortecd, post: 15375664, member: 140822"] I recently lost mine but not 100% sure how. This was a few weeks ago. I didn't see it until Saturday morning. I made some passes Friday night at the track at over 130 but it was videoed and watching them it is intact. We went to a hangout afterwards and some guys were taking pictures so Saturday night I looked at them and saw it was damaged at that point. So it must have come apart at highway speed on the way to the hangout. It has been on for 3 years with no issues. I went with a tubular radiator support this year and there are no mounting points for the back of the underneath cover so it was plastic tied in the middle. I think the air going through the grille made it bounce up and down and it ripped it off, this is a guess. The middle of the splitter is eaten away 1 3/4" so it was dragging on the ground. This is how you fix it [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1012847-2013-Roush-chin-splitter-people/page2[/url] The flat stock is bendable to shape it like the front of the car.
