Dumb question, which material is more sturdy? The material used to make stillen bumpers or frp? And why?

martin82 06-27-2012 04:15 PM

stillen bumper is made of urathane vs FRP/Fiberglass. The frp/fiberglass pretty much has no flex, it will just crack/shatter when hit, vs urathane is very flexible (sometimes it sags).

So far no issues with my stillen one, I will have my track testing this weekend at laguna seca I will report back.

Poly:- somewhat heavy, bends and flexes instead of breaking,

Fiberglass: possibly the lightest depending on how thick, cracks, chips, breaks, expensive to have a shop fix it. But pretty sturdy also.

Looks like this idea is gaining popularity

I love it. I got mine after Stillen corrected the design and Ive had no issues. Just make sure you go to a quality body shop.

Did you have to cut the "fangs" or do they come sepreately?

SPOHN 06-30-2012 07:41 PM

Fangs are seperate. There to be used with there brake duct kit.

I was shocked. Do the stock ones not work with this clip? You can have mine if you pay for shipping.

Mike 07-01-2012 09:04 AM

no, stock won't fit.
