Updated 2000 R FAQ and info document

[CrazySix232]

I have a question. i've got the 99-'02 cobra front bumper on my car and want to add the "R" splitter. i read over the instruction manual they have posted on the ford racing website and it doesnt mention the DZUS fasteners. do these come with the kit from ford or must they be purchased separately. i know that i'm going to have to remove the splitter at times, but the instruction sheet doesnt really make it seem like the air dam is removable once it's attached. basically my question is, if i use the included hardware and panel fasteners, will the air splitter be detachable?

IMHO if you have BOTH parts of the Dzus fasteners you should be able to drill your bumper facia, install the receiver portion of the fastener and have a removeable splitter just like the '00 R?

If you purchase the POC (Piece O Crap) splitter from an SVT dealer, you will get everything you need to attach the thing to the car. What they do NOT give you are the button rivets or the squeezer gun, which are necessary to apply the DZUS fasteners (the right way) to the splitter. There will be a little bag with springs (they look like S's) which get applied directly to the bumper cover from the inside. These are used when you then mate the splitter to the cover and are used to quarter turn the DZUS fasteners onto the car.

Bottom line, yes, the fasteners are included in the package, and yes, the splitter will be detachable from the car.

Let me know if you have any other questions on this.

Al:

That is great information you have assembled there. Thank you! Our engines are getting to the point where we are going to need this stuff!

I think the best place for this info is to merge it into our 2000 R FAQ Sticky? What do you think Brian?

I'll wait till Brian chimes in and see what he says? He's actually the Boss around here! :-D

If anyone wants to do some updates to the document, they are welcome. I've been busier with work, and a little less interested in keeping it up to date in the last couple years.
