A quick use of the search will answer this very simple question. Some common ones are the stillen front splitter and the TS front lip

Not really a simple question...I had to investigate for weeks and start threads trying to filter out the different bumpers and splitters that were available and not available any more or did not fit....

I started this thread recently...I think it sums up the limited options available OP....

Yeah you're right, different years and type if bumper can affect it but it's pretty simple. There's only like 2 or 3 options for 2008-2010 sports bumper. As far as 2011+ sports bumper, I think outcast garage is the only one making a front lip for it.

Plus lip and splitter are used differently around here then where I came from. A lip and splitter were the same thing in the Vette world..... However, a splitter for a G is attached below the bumper and a "lip" typically refers to the ones that attach around the lower fascia area of the bumper...so this can be confusing too.

Outcast as far as I know does not offer a splitter for the G37 2011+ model. Otherwise it would be on my car...

Kenny I thought you were going to bend that splitter up and make it work?
Decided to move in another direction?

Looks good, just enough to make the front end a tad more aggressive and better looking. Best price to grab one of these? Install seems easy, I'm assuming you need to drill holes to install this splitter? Most guys leave it matte black? I have a black coupe, dunno if it's worth painting to color match. Thanks for the replies.

The color of the stillen splitter is more like a satin black. Painting it, since the car has other plastic areas and this matches well, is overkill to me....but everyone is different.
If you dont drill holes then some have had it fly off...Take a look at my thread on the install it shows how I drilled holes, The only way this is coming off is if my whole bumper is ripped off by godzilla...

Give this guy a call and tell him Ed sent you kyle@importpartspro.com he is a vendor on this forum.

I just noticed yours is not a 2011+ S model so I think this will fit perfectly with no alterations....here is their webpage:

You're right they don't offer a splitter for the 2011+ sports but they do have a front lip for the 2011+ sports bumper on their Instagram priced at 418 shipped.

Yeah I decided to save myself the hassle and ordered an IPL front splitter from Outcast Garage instead. So I guess now let the 1 month+ wait begin!

Did you get the carbon or the fiberglass version? Will be interested in your impressions.
