I always figured it would be a curb that got me.
Go out to New Castle Motorsports Park to watch the RoboPong 200 (incidentally, won by Mark Dismore Jr. & Josef Newgarden). Decide to pull in and park along the fence. Well, the way it had been mowed it looked pretty flat - it wasn't. Tires went into a dip, splitter goes into the ground and pretty much explodes (it was cold so it was probably more brittle than normal). Now, I love to bash Stillen for the sagging, but the 1" of sag on mine wouldn't have made a difference - 100% my fault. I do have nice little canards now though.

Because I thru-bolted it, I've got to pull the bumper tonight to get the rest of it off. Not sure what I'll put on there now but I need something since I've got sideblades. What is similar to the Stillen (noticeable / juts out, but doesn't drop down & not terribly expensive)?

Oh well. One of those things...
