On the aero package (non ACR), how easy is it to remove the front splitter?

It's just 3/8" plywood right? Probably held on with a couple of drywall screws or roofing nails.

No, Dave not yours, I'm talking about the OEM on an 08.

The splitters are easy enough to figure out but the adhesive tape they attach to the top and the fascia is WAY tough. You have to pry and cut pry and cut your way across and then when you are done you need to clean all that goo off and re apply new tape to install. Not "hard" but not fun trying to do it without damaging anything.

Thanks Mark, either that or I'll just let my wife hit a curb stop and remove it the easy way.

Any particular reason you are removing it? Don't like the look or other plans?

Wife's car, her concern, I wonder if it is lower to the ground than her vettes front bottom? She could give or take the look of the splitter, though loves the spoiler.

Don't forget, it was designed as a package by some pretty smart engineers, take off the front and you're gonna get a lot of lift in the front as the balance has been destroyed with the downforce in the rear. Heavy rain, lot's of lift in the front, hydroplaning, not so good.

Why, do you have an SSG for me?

It will stay on, but I can see her hitting the first curb stop then waiting a couple months or more to get another one through the insurance repair. A lot of grief ahead. LOL
You are, of course correct and I understand it would change the engineering of the car tremendously.
Thanks for the input.

I can appreciate your concern. I would think it is surely lower than the vette with the splitter. I have an aero car coming soon but he car has also been lowered 1".
Otherwise, I'd measure it for you. I'm leaving the splitter on because I live in the NE and need to plow from time to time. 
Did you buy a car or still looking?

The SSG is for sale.

SSG is the color of the aero car. I was waiting for the release of yellow or SSG on the ACR. I only pulled the trigger as I have become more and more concerned about Chrysler's future over the past few months. Its the closest thing to a SSG ACR I can get. No, I am not keeping my current SSG coupe.

You have a really nice, beautiful, low mileage SSG w/stripes, but my 2nd Viper is for my lovely wife and she wants the aero package. Good luck with the sale.
