Stillen front splitter.

[CanadianCoupe]

Hey I am planning on buying the front splitter soon, can people post their pics with it installed.

Looks good on black

ESP...Did you paint it or did it come matching like that?

[ESP]

No painting! It's black urethane and I decided to leave it as it was (most people do with front splitters...). I'm going to be taking it off next summer to have it wrapped in carbon fiber though!!!

[brandonbeeb]

ESP sorry to go off topic, did you paint the stache yourself or get it done somewhere?

[rjdmmfl1]

Actually, Stillen does paint these splitters... its naturally urethane black, but Stillen added a special coat of something to give it the matte black look and prevent it from fading. (they don't do this with all of their parts, but they did with the splitters!

what does a splitter do exactly lol

[BlackNWhite]

Make your car look bad ***?

Make your car look bad ***?

agree! but seriously?

The splitter is supposed to increase downforce on your front tires and push more air up towards your rad.

I just think it looks great and is a good alternative to a front lip.

Hey do all the stillen body kit parts like the spoiler or the lip come in that same black color? It seems to match pretty well. I'm thinking of getting a lip or a spoiler if i wouldnt need to paint it.

I did it myself but as you can see from the pics it's chipping quite a bit. I was in a hurry so I sprayed it down with glossy black Krylon Fusion and left it to dry. Within a week the chrome was showing through again. Just this past weekend I sanded it down to the chrome and scuffed it up as much as I could, primered, painted, and clearcoated. It looks great, but I need to find a new clearcoat as the one I'm using (Motomaster from CrappyTire) isn't nearly durable enough. It works perfectly (and is cheap enough) for painting interior plastics (which I've done more of than I care to admit on my previous cars), but is easily chipped when used on something that's in the very front of the car!

Alright, back on topic...

Agreed on both points. I also found that, for whatever reason, less rain hits my windshield when I'm driving at highway speeds.That being said, have I noticed any difference in performance? No. I drive a 2.5. Have I noticed that people always stop and stare now? Hell yes.

So it would appear that Doc (the original prototyper of the splitter) and myself are the only ones on NICO that have this? Neato.

Jealous.

I love the 'em, pics are great!

[Kango]

wow this is my first time seeing stillen splitter and black a/c combo~ and it looks NICE!!! Almost makes me wish I had a black coupe! Beautiful ride ESP

[ESP]

Thanks Kango.When I first saw it on Robs car I wasn't too keen on it (...sorry man...) but my fiance loved it and she convinced me to get it instead of the front fascia. Man am I glad she did!

It looks sick on a black car, but I'd love to see it on a blue one....

[rjdmmfl1]

Naww, its cool... when I first got it, I was like..ehh, now, on my car, I'm still like...ehhh

as I mentioned before, I think the stock fascia is pretty dull, and I needed to put something on the front... I was about 1 week away from buying the front lip whe I got this one for free... I just couldn't turn down free, even though I wasn't 100% set on getting it.

On a non black car, the front splitter "looks" like you're trying to compensate, but on a black car, it looks like a really nice stock front.. it blends well, you don't notice at first that its an add on, and that to me is what adds to the pure sexiness of the splitter on a black car...

IMO, it will not look as good on ANY car compared to a black one. But, the darker the car color, the more it blends in, the lighter the color (i.e. silver) the more it looks like an obvious contrast...

imagin if I didn't have the matte black theme going on my entire car (headlight overlays, taillight overlays, rear valence) .. IMO, the front splitter would look ridiculous... just my .03

This picture is ****ing nice.

[Jose3.5]

I have it on the sedan but its pretty much the same thing, look at my sig for the picture.

[maxentropy]

Looks good on black

No offense, but I don't like it on any other color that I've seen so far besides black...

This picture is ****ing nice.

preciate it, but for me, its only nice because of the three way color contrast I'm going with for my car...

Silver, Chrome, and Matte Black...

your pic shows the front lip, the OP asked for pics of the front splitter

[iammai]

Someone needs to wrap the splitter with carbon fiber. The carbon fiber splitter would still need to be on a black coupe though.

OOOOPPPPPSSSSS I wasn't paying enough attention.

hmm... what about painting the front splitter so its colour matched, have the effect you want.

That's my plan for next summer (among other things...)

[NYblkcoupe]

I can't wait to get this. It looks so good on a black coupe, i think it would look cool on a white one with black rims. It would make the color scheme amazing, does anyone know how long Stillen is doing there Special for?
