Stillen splitter is not a shovel
 

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...

sucks man :(

That sucks!

You can try INGS+1 or knock offs from NEXTMOD here in Canada. I'm planning to get those, I'm all for quality parts, but I know that certain part will get damaged.

I think it's in the ball park of $270 ish CDN. TaylorRyan on the forum here has them and says it fits nicely.

sucks... yah, +1 for Ings+1. :) been real happy with my photoshop. :ugh:

We don't have NEXT mode here in Canada.

What about the Evo R? Is that the one that covers the fangs, too? I'm not able to tell from the photos - all seem to be on black cars w/ a black bumper & I'm obviously going for the flat black accessories on red.

Honestly, I really don't want to spend $300+ on a new lip.

+2 on Ings+1 or copy.

ouch, always one of my worries with my lip

Could always go back with the Stillen splitter. I have had mine on for a few months now and I did a little prep work to prevent the inevitable sagging issue. Used a strong adhesive to mount a piece of aluminum L bar to the middle portion of the splitter.

Take it all off and just have it low on oem.

I had an aluminum bar under mine for a while, too. Adhesive (2-part epoxy) came lose & soon as I took it off, it sagged. Then I bought the LongAcre adjustable splitter mounts, but hadn't put them on yet. Probably a good thing I hadn't done them yet honestly.

I dunno. I like the look of the Stillen, just ticks me off that they KNOW there is an issue, blame the install, and don't fix it. Have a hard time supporting (get it...supporting) a company that does that.

I love the INGS +1 lip, but mine's pretty busted now, too! Haha.

I know what you mean I held out long as I could and even considered just getting one of the more pricier front lips. But as you see what happened here I would be more upset if I busted a Top Secret or Mine's lip.

I used the PL Premium Polyurethane adhesive and I don't think I will be able to remove the aluminum bar without some cutting.

Can you post pics of the splitter with the bar ..?

We have 3 here in Ontario.

1 in Ottawa, 1 in Markham, 1 in Mississauga
