It doesn't appear they have a chassis mount option, and it looks like the "fang style" mounting option they have has an inappropriate angle to the ground. Maybe this design is more intended for a low speed/autocross situation with a higher rake setup?

How do you like the stillen fascia? Seems like it might be comparable to v1 nismo in terms of aero/ducting capability?

I like the Stillen... some people had issues with dimples showing in the front but I don't have those issues. I have some pix on in my albums. It's one of the best front bumpers for getting air into the engine compartment.

So what are the two side vents for the stillen bumper feeding? I thought they were for brake ducts, but looking at the fang kit, it looks like the brake inlets fit into the main grill assembly?

It does look pretty mean though, and especially with the wrap color! I might try my hand at doing a wrap over the off season. Never done anything even close, but I'm not bad at painting, so hopefully some nuance and patience translates.

Correct... the fang kit in the main grill has the 2" hose kit that runs to the back of the rotor. The 2 big openings on the side just feed more air behind the bumper that flows thru the engine compartment.

and you're right about the angle... Once I put the splitter on it points upwards appx 5-6 degrees so I need to level that off some. Also have the fangs with the front brake cooling kit too.
