Added some front braces to my Stillen front splitter.

That actually looks really good, racy but doesn't draw too much attention. How do the braces attach to the bumper itself? Just screws?

nicely done

Looks cool.. but I don't think it is actually going to do anything.

The splitter isn't really made to be adjustable, not to mention, any serious down force will rip those things out of the plastic bumper.

I've been thinking about getting the Stillen canards... but idk about this.

I only did it to make my car stand apart from other 370s with the stillen lip. I know it is not functional, most body parts added to these cars do absolutly nothing for functionality.

I like it. Looks like you mean business.

I like it too. I'd either CF or matte black the fangs to complete the look - but that's just me.

I'd paint the rods black.

+1 ...I think that would look killer :tup:

i like the idea. do you mind sharing where and what type of braces those are?

What he said. Very clean install as well, nice work

+1

can you share where you got the pieces for this?

Bought them off of the CV Racing Products trailer at Five Flags Speedway last weekend during the Snowball Derby. They are made by Race City racing products and are normally used for rear spoiler supports on circle track stock cars. I had to modify slightly by grinding out some of the aluminium at the mounts to get more angle on them. They come in various lengths, these are the 8" ones, CV part # BSR-019-AE8.

I had to remove the bumper to mount the upper base. These could be made functional by adding a small mount to attach to the aluminum bumper bar, it is not too far behind where these mount. Thought about blacking them out but didn't want them to get lost and they go well with all of the other silver accents on the car. I will get a picture tomorrow of the whole car so you can get a better idea.

:tup:

Not bad! I'm usually not a fan of splitters since the street is never kind. But your install is sweet, good job. You def accomplished your mission of standing out from the crowd.

I wouldn't call this a splitter... more of just an aero add on. It doesn't really do anything and calling it a splitter is somewhat misleading, IMO. Reasons why I was always confused as to why Stillen calls it that.

It splits the air at the base of the bumper, so the name is accurate. Reduces air going under the car, and allows a little pressure to build up on top. It's more than just a front lip (aka airdam).

But the rods look tacky, especially being non-functional.

Im so considering this stillen lip. Is there any way you can post more pics? I have the same car and just cant make my mind up.

But that didnt stop you from calling it that in your sig :ugh2:

Here are some more pics with and without braces.

Wow does that splitter make your black z so much meaner looking

Splitter itself look great, and really improves the not-so-good look front end.

I guess the supports just look out of place on an otherwise stock car. If they're not functional, it seems like modding for the sake of modding.

When I saw your car with the Stillen front splitter it sold me the look and I decided to buy it myself! ; ) your car looks clean and fresh just like mine. Now I hope that you did not use the self tapping screws that came with the kit. They are BS!!! The best method to install the lip is to remove the front bumper and install the lip by adding screws with a bolt on the inside of the bumper. That way it assures it will not be going any where. I've heard from people in the forum that the lip flies off after a few months.

How long are those rods?

Ummm. :wtf2:

:icon17:

The over all length on my setup is is around 11 1/2" the center section is 8". These were labled 8" they also sell different sizes like 6" and 10" with the same end link setup.
