Oh and another fun fact.. on the right side scoop is a secondary oil cooler run in series, capitalizing on the fresh air.

The section in the middle above the giant hole is the air diversion for the Gen 3 / Supercharger Intakes..


new oil cooler?

like the fangs, shot some pics of mike's car tonight, i'll have them up next week (i'm on the road right now, my laptop is horrible for editing)

Yup! The photos don't really show it but on this fascia we've incorporated a second oil cooler. With this setup you can run Our large race oil cooler AND a smaller oil cooler! Good luck trying to overheat that engine oil now!

cant wait for the brake kit to come out!

If its been asked, I'm unable to find a post, and did do a quick search. But... is Stillen planning a rear bumper? I like what they have made so far minus the wing, and am really interested what they could/would do to the rear. I know this is dangerous grounds I'm about to walk on, but I'm also curious if this front bumper will have issues with GTM's SC kit... Still, looks great!:tup:

^ lol

Btw...Stillen, that car is BEGGING for a wider stance....spacers or new wheels please.

edit: I see ducting in the fangs :)

Kyle@STILLEN 05-07-2010 10:16 AM

We mounted some new enkei gtc01s last night with some toyo r888's...I hope to have new pics today.

In regards to the ducting in the fangs...the fangs do have a coupler on the backside for brake ducting. The complete kit with ducting should be done soon.

We have had some discussions about the rear valance but were not 100% sure what we want to do there. In regards to the gtm supercharger. I really don't know if it would work. The grill opening could be trimmed to clearance their intercooler but I would be very concerned about their filter location. Looking at pictures of their kit I think they would be too open to the elements.

Thats the game changer.

I actually thought I wouldn't like the fangs, but they look pretty good and add a nice touch to the fascia. I'm buying.

Kyle,
the only thing I would have done different with yours is to leave the top part where the air intake is for the filters in flat black like the bottom, but it does look great.

We did think about that Mike and what I decided to do was just have our paint shop spray it red. Then I'm going to get some black tape and tape over it to see what we think. If we like it, then we'll spray it black later, if we don't, we'll leave it read...

My only concern with spraying it black is that it might make the opening look too big...We'll see after I tape it out. I just needed to get it done for the show this weekend. Steve and the guys were starting to give me grieft about the deadline!!!

By the way Mike, couple questions for you. Did your body shop paint the white styrofoam crash pad black so you can't see it through that opening? We're going to hit ours with some black spray paint just to conceal it a bit.

Also, I don't know if you still have that windshield washer reservoir but we have a fix for it to get it out of the way so that you can't see the ugly white bottle.

Quick Pchop. I haven't seen the size of the Water heat exchanger in the stillen SC kit so its a guess, but I really like the looks of this.

I'm assuming the core we can see in your pictures is the race oil cooler and not the sc IC.

Actually the heat exchanger is mounted to the left of the (looking at the car) and goes vertically. We did not want to block airflow to the radiator.

OK, hehe let me take that out and just do the top portion blackout.

It looks very GT-R'ish
