does anyone know how to get rid of the sag under the driver headlight? the paint shop has been having trouble getting it to fit, the passenger side fits like a glove. its just the drivers. cars still at shop, so i can't take any other pics as of right now. im just asking ahead of time incase they still cant get it...



thanks

In my opinion Stillen did a poor job fitting the fascia to the altima coupe.....

If you take on and off the stock bumper it takes 1 minutes tops after the screws are out of course Thats how aftermarket parts should fit.

There are way to may problems for it to be just a coincidence.

Dont get me wrong my fascia is my favorite mod

I just wish Stillen had put a little more time into making th fascia mold

Correct! they are also the solution to most questions asked on this site.

Next time any of you want to ask a question, think to yourself "would zip ties fix this?" most of the time, the answer will be YES

And if zip ties don't work...ask yourself, "would duct tape fix this?"

NISSantonio had the same problem and we just heat-gunned it for a long time while holding it in place. wear gloves though. lol.

zip ties would be better i guess but where to put them is the question?

I dont know a specific place to hold up that exact location, but there has to be something behind the bumper that will hold it up.

I have no idea how many zip ties that i have holding up random things on my car.

you got a discount from who? Stillen or the body shop? I emailed about 3-4 different people at Stillen about the fitment problems i have with my fascia from over a year ago and have still not heard a single thing back. I even called and emailed Margret Lo like at least 3 months ago now and still havent heard anything back. Its very frustrating and suprising considering how everyone praises their customer service
