Im considering on getting the Stillen front clip for my 08 Coupe. Is this easy to get done? I've seen sagging and I'm wondering what causes that and what I can do different...

If you know of any other fronts that look good, let me know.

Front clip or front lip? I never knew that the Lips sagged...unless it's installed incorrectly. A lot of members on here have the stillen front fascia. You can also go the Extreme Dimension route or the GTR front. They all look really aggressive, check them out! Easy...I don't know. The instructions seem simple enough...

I think he's talking about the front fascia since thats the only one I've ever heard of having sagging issues.

I have the stillen front fascia and it looks 1000 times better in person. It changes the whole look of the car.

the sagging issue was for people who bought it when it first came out (like me). Stillen says they have since fixed it on all new orders. Their is a way to fix an older one too

Clip, as in the whole bumper. I was just wondering about sag or if there were any fascias other than the ExD and the Stillen.

Yes, front fascia. Ha. What about the gap between the top of the grill and the bottom of the hood? Hussain, what mods did you do to get the Nissan logo on your grill?

I really like the GTR one from Duraflex, but is that looked down upon to make my Altima look like a GTR?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there will always be haters no matter what you pick. Better to pick what you like. You have to live with it :chuckle:

Side note. Some one was talking about speed bumps and drops. Im only on Eigbachs, with the AIT GT-R front and it is pretty low. If you look at the pics, the 2 370z's on my right have stock front clips. The one on the far right has springs. My front is most at risk! :frown: But dammit is so FKing sexy :chuckle:
Another side note: The Z on my left had airbags and could drop it right to the pavement, along with the sexiest Z body kit I have seen to date.
