Stillen Front Bumper work with GTM TT?

COSMO · 06-13-2013, 10:01 PM

Anybody know if the stillen front bumper will work with the gtm TT? If so any pics?

I remember looking at this a while back before I broke down and bought a front lip. it looked like there would have to be some modification to the bumper to let it clear the air filters and piping. You'd get some great airflow to the IC if you made it work.

I think it will clear more than fine. A lot more room/ clearance than stock.

My concern was the bit between the main opening and side vents, and the inner part of the side vents. I've never seen the back of the Stillen bumper, but that's the area you would have an issue if you had one at all.

There is one I am aware of by LafitteZ:

Chuck33079 · 06-14-2013, 07:07 AM

Looks like there was a little trimming to clear the pipe with the bov on it. Looks great though. I'm jealous of the airflow he's getting to the ic.

There might be just a little. No big deal. I love this clip. I wouldn't trade mine for nothing. Be nice if Stillen made it lighter but it holds up very well.

Nothing a good body shop couldn't handle.

It's funny you mention the air flow going into the intercooler because I recently trimmed my stock plastic trim (about 4 inches) above the fangs, basically the unpainted parts of the stock bumper just to see if it would a difference. Turns out after monitoring the temps after the AIT dropped 5%. Just that little bit more of air allowing the intercooler to cool the air made it drop that much.. That's why Iam looking into the stillen or a oem nismo front bumper...

Chuck33079 · 06-14-2013, 10:26 AM

I would think the oem nismo bumper would allow less airflow than stock. It doesn't have the fangs, but isn't the opening smaller?

theDreamer · 06-14-2013, 10:26 AM

I don't think the OEM Nismo will provide more, I did some measuring, the coupe actually has a bigger "area" but has more blocks. Fangs, black plastic pieces, etc.

Here is a Nismo TT, the intercooler basically hugs the front.

If you want maximum airflow I would go with one of these options:
Stillen
Amuse
Fujimura

Amuse wouldn't be that much of a difference I believe over stock. I would personally go with Stillen

theDreamer · 06-14-2013, 02:22 PM

I don't have the picture anymore, a guy in Houston had his coupe bumper & went to the Amuse front end. It was a worlds of difference, the Amuse is about 1-2" wider and extends forward a good inch allowing for more air to go around the intercooler.

The issue with the larger intercoolers & the Nismo/coupe bumpers is the intercooler almost touches the front allowing little airflow around it. The aftermarket ones are a bit longer and open up that front area for side travel. I do agree the Stillen/Fujimura are the top 2 in terms of maximizing airflow.

theDreamer · 06-14-2013, 02:23 PM

I was able to find the Amuse intercooler picture.

And a different car but here is coupe with intercooler.
