Stillen front splitter VS. Possum

FireDan50 · 09-15-2013, 08:23 PM

So first my Stillen supercharger blew up and now my Stillen front splitter is destroyed. I only had both items on for about a month!!! I just DO NOT have luck with Stillen products.

I was on my way to a car show when a dead possum came out from under the car in front of me and it was too late for me to take any action but slow down. The splitter is gone and now my front bumper has a small tear in the corner

Now I need to try and see if I can get my front end fixed before Friday because I'm going to Nopi Nationals this weekend.

By the looks of it I think you're going to have a tough time fixing that lip. Whatever you do its going to show. You could try and glue it back together temporarily or add a thin top layer of wrap or plastic and paint it black to match.
Either way hope all goes well and sorry to hear that.

Definitely not going to fix this lip or buy the same thing to replace it. I'm not exactly sure what the material is that its made out of...pretty sure its urethane though. This lip is not flexible at all....only when it sags in the middle lol. Mine was slightly starting to show a little sag.

At least you're $100 richer after the car show

That sucks dude. Look at the bright side, your cheap lip saved your expensive bumper and fang cover.

On a side note, that looked really good. The splitters flowed nice with the canards.
