The Stillen Fascia will clear the GTM TT Kit. We installed the fascia on a customer's '09 Base model that recieved the GTM kit a few weeks ago. I will state that the optional brake ducts WILL NOT work due to the intercooler and associated piping.

I know what you mean about the possibility of time taking its toll and flex potentially damaging the gap, however, I would be really surprised if that happened considering how much of the fascia is fastened together with hardware, and when attached with hardware, how rigid that joing actually is.

I plan on putting this fascia on our race car that we will be building soon and I will be blending that line and I am very confident that it will hold up fine, if it can hold up on a race car, it can hold up on a street car easily! When it comes to our race cars, we don't treat them like most people treat their race cars. We keep them in pristine condition and regularly hear comments from people questioning if they've ever been raced. Just take a look at our Targa rally GT R! When we displayed it at SEMA last year (just a couple weeks after the New Foundland rally) people were asking if the car had just been freshly painted! No one had any idea it had just run a 5 day rally race.
Hey kyle could I possibly pay extra for you to seal the gap with urathane and pay the extra to ship it. I don't know if you guys are against that or not but i think it would make me have less worries. I know in my job we use a epoxy on seals and all to hold them to the airframe and after a month or so they start to come off due to the epoxy cracking from vibrations.(I am a helicopter mechanic for the navy)

Hello dustin and thank you for jumping in. How much work was required in order to get this to go on the GTM kit. Also how did it turn out look wise. I don't want to pay a body shop more money then I paid for the bumper just to make it fit and look right. thanks
