ok so i finally got my stillen front fascia painted and installed after a year of waiting! theres only 2 issues with it and both are my fault. Today is Friday (the Muslim holy day) so i was in a hurry and didnt let the glue or what ever dry so the mesh sort of came off on one side. i just need to go outside and put it back in place and let it dry. i also didnt let the guy put the metal piece from the factory bumper AKA the thing that stops the fascia from sagging. so i got fascia sag and my grill is a little lopsided but both are easy fixes and i hope you guys can look past that in these pics lol



i painted the radiator black myself at the shop



new bumper on



you can see the grill needs to be fixed

UPDATE

ok so it turns out that all i had to do to fix the problem was to put that metal piece from the factory bumper. it helps hold the mesh in place and then since i dont have those 2 bars in the grill, i have a couple empty spots for clips in that metal piece in the grill, so i just need to zip tie the mesh to those holes and it will be perfect. since i dont have any zip ties, i used the factory clips and it works perfect for now.... still a few little things need to be done but its things you got to be like 6 inches away from to see. here are some pics after i put the metal piece

looks really good! did you take the 2 grill bars out yourself? I remember seeing 2 stillen looking bumpers on ebay that didnt have the 2 bars in the grill, would yours been one of those?

Ive been waiting a year to see how this would turn out. It looks great! I think that the burger needs to be moved down and to the left a bit, but other than that, its perfect.

EDIT: And just noticed that the piece to the left of your license plate it falling a bit, but thats an easy fix too.

lol thats what i was talking about when i said it just needs a couple little things but you cant see unless your up close. i need to drill and put a screw right there so it will work perfect.

i bought my front fascia a full year ago and first thing i did was cut out the bars in the grill and then i had 2 holes on each side of the grill. finally took it to a body shop this week and the guy patched up the holes and painted the bumper.... he did everything for $150 which is a really good deal.

thanks for all the compliments everyone.... oh ya and my driveway has a crazy slant to it and i just scraped like 5 min ago lol it wasnt a bad scrape though (left no damage) but i'm fine with my driveway, i just got to go slow. my brothers mustang is lower and he has to go sideways. im going to have to go sideways after i lower it.

$150 is a steal, and if you lower the car, you will need to go in totally sideways, or park on the street!

Also, i didnt think you needed a front plate in Cali

ya i got a really good deal on it. and ya in cali you got to have a front license plate but a lot of people dont but cops tend to target imports with body kits and its not worth the hassle to me.... it looks much better without the license plate but i can live with it.

If you get pulled over, just let them know it (the car) isn't an import

It all really depends on the cops, if they want to get you or not... Ive never had an issue with that. But do know of some folks that get tickets like crazy for not having it.

Looks really nice man! I thought for a second that you bought the sedan fascia and made it fit the coupe but then I remembered that you took off the grill.

looks great! stillen should start making interchangeable grills with their fascia so you can choose from the 3 bars or something like this.
