Since I had some time I decided to get some things done...

Finally installed my Stillen Fascia

Yes i know there is a slight sag under the hood and im not sure how to fix it. if anyone knows how to fix that please let me know otherwise im gonna have a body shop fix it when i take it in to finish fixing my car from the accident

Painted my brake calipers and the rusty rotor hats

And finally got my springs installed

Looks sweet man! About the sag in the grille, there should have been a metal rod that runs across the top on the stock bumper. Try using that to run across the top on the stillen fascia and it should get rid of that top sag. Thats what i had to do.

I am getting some eibachs next week. They look good!

Hmmm, maybe try refitting it so it is straight across the top. Try and play with it so that is sits higher? I will call the auto body who did mine and ask the mechanic who did mine to see exacly what he had to do in order for it to sit straight.

You have 12 posts and all I have seen are negative comments about what people are doing to their cars so far.

How about posting some pics of your amazing ride so we can all see how it should be done.

Thanks... it sits right were the stock fascia sat so i dont know.. i have a few things i need fixed on my car so i figure id just have the shop do it anyway rather than me try and rack my brains out over it.

An FYI for you... i painted the calipers because i was having the rotor hats painted cause they rusted and just cleaning them wont do. so i just killed two birds with one stone.

Haha yeah i know... ive had the fascia since the GB back in August last year and the springs right after that...lol i ran into a bit of a money crunch back then...lol

There were instructions with the kit that shows the support brace to keep on to keep the stillen fascia from sagging.

I used the support brace... That's why I don't get why it's sagging
