Very nice looking! Question- how does that splitter fit?...does it attach via glue, or screws? And if by screws, are they thru the existing holes on the underside of the bumper, or do you have to tap them thru (and make new holes in the bumper)?

Goodness! I have never been a fan of DRL's on a 986 until now, well executed my friend! Was the installation and wiring at all difficult?

Of the four options which did you opt for?
Also, could you give me the name of the seller that in which you purchased the front lip please?

Thank you. They're the Lyras. The lights plug into each other , so there's only one loom to feed into the car: One Switched Pos, One Neg and a tap off your parking light or dipped beam - which dims the lights when either the parking or dipped (depending on what you hook up to) are switched on. They look OEM and are Audi bright!
The splitter was a cheap copy off ebay - although I'm not sure what it's a copy off. Luckily I've got a good body shop, so it did need some fine tuning - glue and screws (bolts actually)
It doesn't affect ground clearance at the front although my only slight criticism is that the sides now sit maybe an inch lower so look a little 'heavy' in my eyes and I've already caught one corner. But apart from that, it's all good.

I've been looking for a lower splitter for my '01 Boxster S myself. Could you post a link to this eBay seller. I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

Gary, sorry to be a pain, but could you clarify if those bolts used to attach the splitter were put through the existing holes below the bumper, or if it required drilling new holes in the bumper? This is important to me because if it utilizes the original holes, it means the mod is reversible, if for any reason, the fiberglass splitter is damaged or you decide you want to remove them down the road.

Hi - I had to check with my body shop and their reply was because the splitter didn't come with pre-drilled holes, they used what was already there on the car, so in essence no additional holes (apart from two - extreme left and right) were made.
No night-time pictures yet, but a small video of when I had a smaller much dimmer set of DRLs with a relay that switched them off on dipped beam:
