I bought mine on the stillen website. But I got what was apparently their Memorial Day sale price as it was $220 shipped. Back up to $299 from the latest I have seen. Still no too bad...

Thanks for the info. Not too bad, but I'll hold off for a bit to see if I can get lucky and find it in the low $200 range.

Completely understand - I had been considering a front splitter for about 6 months and just couldn't justify the money, but the sale was enough to convince me! Now I just need to get the tow hook setup and a set of higher quality struts... never ending modifications!

Just curious, having looked around, is the Stillen splitter actually a rebranded Street Scene splitter? Stillen actually has the Street Scene listed on their own website as well, and I've now seen the SS one in a lot of places, almost always in the $290 range, give or take. On the Stillen website, they've got theirs listed under "Splitters" for $299, and the Street Scene listed under "Lip Spoilers" for $289, but with no picture. When I search the SS part number (950-70713) it looks identical.

I can't confirm they are identical, but they do appear to be the same. I wouldn't be surprised if they are absolutely identical though.

Most likely. Street Scene and Stillen have a long relationship...

Wow!! That looks fantastic. Great choice.


I dig the splitter look. I have the Boss 302 fascia/splitter on mine and I'm really happy with it... I have a spare splitter up in my attic pending an encounter with a curb.

I just feel like a splitter should be one of the last mods...looks weird on stock wheels and a stock ride height to me.

For me, I want to start working with a bit of aero cause I track the car pretty hard. I haven't seen a splitter on a car with stock ride height and not sure why wheels matter? But to each their own, I am hoping this is at least somewhat functional. The Laguna Seca one is per fords claim, this is not muh different.

I agree, it doesn't matter. You bought it out of functional necessity. Who cares what wheels or suspension are on the car.

I've been reading some of your threads, really like your approach. Rather than dumping the entire AM catalog on your car, you've run it, established a need for a particular improvement, then made it happen. Golf clap and hat tip to you sir.

That looks great! I like how it looks on the stock height, wheels for sure. it definitely does add an aggressive look to the front end for sure! it would look just stupid on my ride coming the winter seasons hahaha. I plan on driving my car year round with a good set of snow tires and I wouldn't really be interested in taking it off and putting it back on.

Uhhh, he ain't stock height, he's on SR's. Just stock wheels.

I'm just saying that the splitter is more of an appearance mod, and it looks better on a lowered car and one with upgraded wheels. Again, that's just my opinion...

Well, he has met one of your requirements (lowering) and from his track photos, he has different wheels for the track.

Thanks, that is definitely my approach. I would love to have a huge budget to dump a bunch of stuff into the car but that's not the case so I try pretty hard to be systematic in my upgrade approach. Plus I've had a pretty specific plan for the car since before I bought it... Be faster around road courses than my buddy with his boss 302 appreciate the compliment tho

What you don't want to turn your car into a snowplow for the winter?? Just think how fast you could clear snow!! Haha definitely not for everyone, I completely understand.
