Sterckenn Bumper Inserts

[flexspec]

I didn’t think that something so simple could make the front change so much. But these Sterckenn Bumper Inserts are everything!

The fitment is on point. I would highly recommend using 3M adhesive promoter to help get a good seal.
Additionally, (but not required) the very front tip of the inserts had a slight gap, I used some black silicone sealer in a syringe and filled around the edge it to prevent water from entering behind the insert and potentially pooling. Nothing a steady hand couldn’t accomplish. The closes-up shows how the application of the sealer can’t be seen because it’s behind the edge abutting the 3M tape and helping close any open hole.

Next up will be the OEM CF M Performance front lip with splitters. Slowly making my way there.

Hi,

Great point about mentioning the little gap!! Actually I need to do that since rains a lot here in WA State...

How about the Sterckenn Front Lip? I'm thinking about changing to this in the future.

Thank you!!

The mods I’m doing now are mostly non-cosmetic (OCC, charge pipes, intercooler (haven’t decided on the brand yet Forge vs CSF).

But the next cosmetic mod will be the M Performance CF front lip with splitter. Then I’ll slowly make my way to the rear - side mirrors and rear diffuser.

What about you?

The Sterckenn Front lip does look nice as well.

If you’re going to try adding some black silicone - have some panel wipe and some paper towel close by to help mold it and clean the area.

I had the same issue with the upper splitters. I installed twice and still have the gap. But they do look great. Here's my choice for charge cooler. Missing some parts since I'm doing a covid cleaning and installing JRZ suspension this weekend.

Hope it’s not too much off topic to ask why you went with Forge over say CSF? I heard the welds on the Forge are better.

Love the CF hood. Geez - that looks so sweet open.

The forge is beautifully done. And it includes its own external reservoir so one less thing to worry about. It also has a sight gauge to make checking fluids easier.

Beautiful car. Probably my favorite custom plate so far.

Thanks. I almost forgot to add in my initial post that the bumper inserts were wrapped in Xpel Ultimate Plus before being installed. While my entire vehicle is wrapped in Xpel Stealth, I wanted all the carbon pieces to be wrapped to protect them from rocks and debris - considering they are so close to the road.

It is nearly impossible to tell but the grill, and lights are also wrapped.

Is your car a Frozen paint? It looks really cool.

And agreed, the insert really changes the front end, for the better!

Thanks! The car is full body wrapped in Xpel Stealth PPF. The trim, lights, carbon fiber are wrapped in Xpel Ultimate Plus. Houston PPF did an awesome job - I give them all the credit.
