All the snow and ice finally melted around here, so I decided to drive my G to work every day this week. It's super dirty, and I didn't get a chance to wash it at all, but I popped out to my driveway just now to snap some real quick pictures of the Stillen splitter that I had professionally painted blue slate.

And keep the comments about that dent on my fender to yourself; it's getting fixed tomorrow afternoon. Some fat-*** slipped on ice a few weeks ago and took a swan dive into my fender. If you think my fender looks bad, you should have seen the guy!!

And just pretend my license plate number is blurred out; I'm too lazy to blur it out myself and I really don't care if you guys can all see it.













*****UPDATE*****EDIT*****
Here it is, cleaned up a little bit with better pictures.

 

very nice man

 

Looking good

 

nice pics

 

Very nice! Flows well when body matched.

 

It looks a little darker than the actual BS on the car. But color matched or not, those splitters look great on the car.

 

I agree. The valet from the dealership who drove me back to work asked if it was factory installed. Some of the sales guys didn't even know it was aftermarket! It gives the front end a very subtle aggression, but keeps the classy OEM look.

Before I installed the splitter, I placed it on top of my trunk and took a few steps back on a bright sunny day. It is very slightly darker than the factory paint, but not enough to notice without looking for it. The darkness you're seeing is an optical illusion of the reflection from the negative curve just above the splitter and the thin line of white salt spray at the base of the splitter. If it was clean, you wouldn't notice it as much.

 

That looks very slick and clean. Nice mod!

 

Damn...those look hot! Very clean and sporty look! Might be my next mod

 

dude that custom dent is sick!! ha ha

 

You should have seen the custom dent in the guy's forehead!

 

looking good.

 

did you remove the two silver bars that attach to the factory bumper? can you post a closer picture of the front.. thanks!

 

how exactly did you install it? like the reg procedure of installing a front lip; adhesive,and two screw on each side?

so glad you removed the buckles, i was thinking about colormatching it a while ago, but was hoping on a "simple" front lip to be out, which never happend..jp is the closest but eh!

looks great.

 

I wanted this to look as clean and classy as possible, so I never even considered installing the turnbuckles (they don't come installed, you have install them yourself after you install the splitter). And I also wanted this to be as reversible as possible (wasn't sure if I'd like it, or decide to sell it in the future), so I really didn't want to use the adhesive either. Stillen provided 8 self-tapping screws to augment the adhesive, so I went to Home Depot and bought 10 more identical self-tapping stainless steel screws. I drilled pilot holes at evenly spaced (roughly 6") intervals from end to end on the splitter, then matching pilot holes in the underside of the front bumper. So it's held on by eighteen 1" self-tapping stainless steel screws, no adhesive.

I took it out on the expressway and had my parents drive in front of me. At 90mph there wasn't even the slightest bit of vibration, bend, wave, or movement. And pulling into a real steep gas station last week I couldn't avoid rubbing, but it held on like a trooper and shows no signs of trouble.
