Installed the V6 Stillen splitter too!

[ffrcobra_65]

did it come with any installation hardware and you just didn't feel like installing them because it involves removing the front fascia? If it came with installation hardware, I would use them. You don't want that thing coming off at highspeed and causing damage to your car, and/or cars behind you. Testing it by applying pressure and letting go is not the same as constant pressure/force applied during prolonged driving.

Cool. Hardware and tape, that thing is not going anywhere. You should be good to go. Looks really good btw. IMHO, a front splitter is a must for the V6 front fascia.

Did you have any problems with it fitting to the contour of the bumper. I had to use caulk to fill in the gaps in the area below the running lights my fit was very poor.

Yep, mine was like that... but nothing like industrial grade silicone to fix it =)

The way i did it without taking the front of is i had it resting on some boxes that were just the right height to support it against the car. I removed the back side of the tape and slid it into place....It took alittle bit of making sure all the tape wasnt stuck on, until i knew it was in the right position so i could adjust it. Once it was in position, stuck it all down and good to go.

The tape seriously seems strong, ive put a good amount of weight on it, trying to take it off and it wont budge. I DID use dawn soap on those areas, about 5 or 6 times to make sure all the wax was off first though. We shall see how the tape holds up in the heat tomorrow though.

Onto the pics.

The white and black looks killer bro!

add some gloss black 20's your car is perfect!

Nope, i think i got it in the perfect position, there are no gaps under the fog lights (or the lack of fog lights on my car ). The only issue i see is on the driver side right where the splitter ends at the fender edge....The splitter has a lip on that side and doesnt lay flush.....which is causing alittle tape pull up. So i have 2 options as of right now, File down the lip on the edge of the splitter so it lays flush and tape sticks. Or just add another layer of 3M Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape to fill in the gap. Its not a huge gap, but i am super picky about these things.....you dont even notice, unless you get right down close to it. I would just pull that part away, Add a couple inches of tape, over the already installed tape....then it will lay flush cause like i said, its barely an issue.

Tape still going strong everywhere else. Drove to work at 80mph....30min drive today too.

Thinking about picking up a 5 ft roll of 3M Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape. So that way if anything start coming off, i just double up on the tape to close gaps before i go doing the silicone.

Yeah, with the silicone, i've done a drive up to 118MPH and the splitter is fine. Shouldn't be a problem!

Lookin' good! What color did the lip come in? Flat black or did you have it painted that way?

[jagan323]

It's polyurethane, so it comes black stock.

[LosingReality]

^ yep, came in that color.
