I never really paid attention to this splitter, but there are some cars in here that really pull it off. Like most things, the lower the car is the better it tends to look. Definitely a good option for if/when my Evo-r Mine's lip gets demolished. I wonder how this would look along with a CF cover/finisher for the lower center portion of the bumper..
I've debated doing the center portion in black. just have not taken the time to remove my splitter and vinyl wrap it. I think it would look good!I know u already bought one but Ima add my pics anyways. Didn't have the best fitment in the world but it did fit. Also I dropped my car on a jack in the front and the splitter said fu-k u but the bumper couldn't take it haha. Here's some pics of mine. Didn't know so many other people had it. Bought mine 2 years ago.

Sorry to resurect the thread, however I am looking into buying one of these with my next pay check, I am looking at the stillen website linked a few posts back and it lists 2 options. My car is an 03, the option for 03-08 (i know cant work die to change in bumper) lists for stillen stage 2 bumper only and the other is 07-08 OEM. Do they not make a virsion of this lip for the 03 bumper? i saw cars pictured here with them. Is this a typo on the website or have they stoped sales of this?

Make sure you have the correct year chosen and look for car by model on the stillen site. I was able to find the 03-05 factory bumper splitter on there, and have at least not personally heard about them discontinuing them. Good luck tracking one down, and please post pictures once it has been installed!

Awesome thread Emp, and thanks to everyone who posted pictures in here, those Zs look sick! Im riding a bit high atm because of my stock suspension and slightly fatter sidewall tires. Im guessing a drop is in order before this splitter/lip will look good?

i installed it today. wish it would have fit better, i had to use a die grinder and open up the ends that wrap around the bumper. its the only way it was going to fit. i powered coated the supports black, had them on plain stainless and i wasnt feeling it so painted them black and it looks better. i would have left the supports off but they do help pull splitter into bumper for a better fit.

They ship me a 2nd splitter claiming to have rechecked it on a test bumper in house. A week later I recive , & its nearly identical to the first. I have a friend bring over his 04 Z and same issue. Its not close. Each time I send them a ton of detailed pics. Now they have spent a month " CHECKING THE MOLD". They are sticking behind that they tested but said, " So it fits our bumpers but they dont fit Z's out there?" What does that mean? Are they trying to imply the East coast Z's have diffrant bumpers?
I really want this splitter because I regularly AutoX & wont have to worry about cone damage but this waiting game has started to get rediculous.
If anyone else had to modify to install please post or Pm me as I am trying to help them correct this problem.

I had someone pm me looking for how much lower this made the oem bumper profile as far as clearance. I'm including some pictures I took for them. Keep in mind I'm lowered a decent amount of coils.
Has anyone else had this fitment issue? I have been going round & Round with Stillen sense September! I bought the splitter for my 04 OEM Bumper. I recived the Splitter but it wasnt close to fitting. So they had me ship it back to check the mold. Keep in mind I live in FL & they are in CA, so each shipment takes a week.They recive it & confirm its wrong. I wait for a new mold to be made.

For the record, I didn't have a single issues with fitment. Again, I'm sorry to hear you have. I love this splitter though, and still stand by it as an awesome option for our cars!

I'm also looking at getting this splitter. The op said the price was 220-230, but I can't seem to find it under 270. Seems the price went way up. Anyone now a vendor on here that could get it cheaper?
