Just an FYI for people on the fence about the Stillen splitter
hopefully its not a repost but i just purchased a stillen splitter for my new g37s coupe and paid $226 shipped. shipping is free but they do charge you almost $10 for handling. great deal imho. its nice to be part of the g family now.
Just an FYI on that splitter. If you plan on ever going over 80+ miles an hour I would recommend you go to HomeDepot and buy about 20 Wide Flat Head Stainless Steel Screws about 1 inch long and drill pilot holes and then put those in. The ones that come with stillen and the double sided tape will not hold it on at 80+ miles an hour unless you have those ugly turnbuckles on as well. Even then I 'cant vouch for how strong they are.
Trust me you can ask any splitter owners who have done so.
Mine started to peal off about 5 times when I've gone from 80-130 mph.
With all those screws now it wont come off lol!~

I couldn't agree more. I used 20 screws with drilled pilot holes evenly spaced across the width of the splitter. I very rarely top 80mph, but here in Ohio I bottom out and scrape pulling into almost any gas station. So far, I'm one year in and the splitter hasn't so much as budged.

Real splitters generate downforce and high pressure zones.
If double sided tape is what they recommend, then:
1. It's completely non-functional ( other than looks )
2. It has no R&D behind it
3. It's crap.
Pick and choose...
Do they actually come with the rods in the picture on their site?
