Stillen splitter + EVO R diffuser=ok combo?

scottIN · 01-30-2012, 06:29 PM

So I'd like to some some exterior accents to my Solid Red. Nothing too major - just some little touches. Figure I should balance them from & rear.

How do the Stillen splitter and EVO R diffuser look together? I was wondering how the finishes compare together since one is urethane & one is painted flat black. I don't know that they need to match 100% since you basically can't see them at the same time- just so they don't look goofy. Like all those Hondas you see running around with 3 different color primers, 3 different flat blacks and a gallon of Bondo.

Also, does the Stillen splitter drop the front clearance by much? Surely it's not lower than the little black air dam that's stock/ I scrape it going in my driveway.

I did try to search, but the # of threads that contain Stillen and / or EVO R is overwhelming.
TIA

The easiest way to make sure two things will match is to :drumroll please: PAINT THEM! lol

Take the plunge and if they are that off bring them to a shop to be sprayed. How much could they really charge you for such small pieces?

Does the urethane paint up ok? Wasn't sure about that. That was my main concern.

It should cost ~ $200 for both.

Another option is to simply paint them prior to installation. We use a product from SEM paint supplies which works extremely well on urethane. All of our splitters are sent out pre-painted with this material. It is a flexible coating that also provides a UV protection. The part number from SEM is 15013 "landau black."

Thanks Kyle. Guess i had it in my head that it was just raw urethane straight from you guys. Not sure why - maybe becasue of the matte finish I've seen in photos of it.

I had an all uerathane bumper on a prior car (god was that a dumb decision as it never held shape right) and the paint held fine.
