Chip, I've decided to take your advice and mount brackets from the aluminum bumper bar to the splitter. The front is a slotted pin and the rear is a nylon bolt for a sheer element. The final peice will be slotting/clearancing my new finder liners where they normally mount to the bumper cover and under tray.
The pin is formed from a 1/4 bolt and a 3/8" pin with 1/4 washer on the outside, the rear hole is for a 1/4" nylon bolt while the wood block is to prevent the angle from stabbing a tire (I'm going to trim the excess bolt off.
The bracket from the bumper bar to engauge with the pin in the rear facing slot and the nylon bolt with the rear hole. I made these out of steel angle because it's easier for me to weld angle than to machine aluminum.
My splitter, ready to be sealed and painted. I decided to eliminate the center cut back and go with a straight planform as the car's not likely to get sucked down to bad with 8oolb front springs and just over 3" of ground clearance.
