The 4 on each side, and should be 4 in the middle? There was on mine, but Mark was saying they weren't needed, so may have ditched those.

my scott lowe splitter uses a combination of original holes and self tapping screws - having looked at the pics earlier on in this thread they look identical
the middle ones are needed as they will help with a flush fit and also stop you from smnapping the splitter. I originally didn't bother using them which was a mistake! i caught the lip heading down an off road track and it snapped in the middle - had i fixed the middle i'm pretty sure it wouldn't have happended

Mark was saying it came with so many mounts that if you put them all on, you'd end up ripping off the front of the car before the splitter went!

What do you mean by "and is not as good as I thought??"
Are you refering to the quality of the item, its finish, how its made or what its made of?
Just wondering?
