We build and produce all the urethane parts here in Costa Mesa. We make the molds, pour the urethane, trim, and prepare all the parts here.
The splitter is urethane, and we have fitted it on a lot of customers cars locally. Urethane is flexible, and must be test fit to make sure it does line up with your car correctly.
Some people have had problems with the install on the urethane parts, and we always will do our best to assist customers with fitment, or install issues.

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.
From the instructions for fitting urethane parts.
NOTE: Preparation of the urethane surfaces to be painted is important to achieve proper fit and finish. However, these components are flexible and attention should be paid to the type of paint chosen for these applications.
NOTES ABOUT INSTALLATION, CLEANING, AND PAINTING
Pre-fit all pieces to the vehicle. Once you are assured that you have the right aero kit you may proceed. If you don’t, please call Stillen right away.
We highly recommend using masking tape anywhere the aero kit may be touching the vehicle body to prevent scratches during the pre-fit.
Do any sanding, filing, or spacing necessary (before painting) for a clean tight fit. Spending the extra time now will assure you of a perfect “factory” installation.
The Front Splitter includes 5 feet of 3M 5314 Automotive Acrylic Foam Tape. We only use 3M tape, and we have been using it for years on parts. If the parts are prepared and cleaned correctly, then there should be no problems with the 3M product. However, if the areas are not prepared correctly, and the adhesive can not stick to the surface, and you will have install issues.
Sorry that some people have had issues, I am here to try and help you solve those issues.
