Stillen front fascia concerns with sagging?

Bandit_Kaine · 09-01-2012, 01:19 PM

Just got my stillen front fascia and it's a lot more flexible than I am comfortable with. I'm concerned with it deforming and sagging under this Miami heat.

Anyone have any experience or knowledge about this? Is it an issue or am I just being paranoid.

Seriously considering a different FRP bumper, I park my car in the sun and don't want to come out one day to my bumper melted dragging the floor.

you are being paranoid. It will be fine. I am on my second, but thats only because the car was too low and I ground the bottom off the first.

I had problems. Ballistic Motorsports in NH installed it and put a metal bar supporting the top front. It's worked out fine now.

Ive had mine for a couple weeks now and driven it over 300 miles. Plus, its been around 103 the past couple weeks here in TX. No sagging or anything so far. I would, however, maybe put metal bolts in the top 2 corners under the engine bay to offer more support, instead of the plastic clip things.
