Instead of ordering direct from Stillen, go to http://www.g35parts.com

They are selling the majority of the same mods for the AC as Stillen is, including Stillen's Fascia, Sideskirts, and Lip at cheaper than what's listed on Stillen's website.

I love Stillen and their customer service, but there is approx $20+ price differences between many items! Stillen used to offer the same prices listed on g35parts.com, but it seems they have jacked all the prices up.

I only post this in hopes Stillen will see this and lower their prices back to what they were so we can buy straight from them and help support stillen directly! Until then, save some major dough by ordering from there until Stillen shapes up!

Hey Guys,

Due to the rising costs of raw materials we have actually had a small (3-4%) price increase on a large majority of our parts.

For example, poly-urethane is a petroleum based material...I don't think I need to say more (haha) but...that is the reason for the price increase on the fascia's and rockers and other urethane parts...Metal costs have been rising for the past 5 years at incredible rates. Unfortunately it's just a sign of the times. Everything is getting more expensive to produce.

Some of our parts have stayed the same price but for the most part we have had to raise our prices.

With that being said, I appreciate your kind remarks about our Customer Service as well as your interest in our parts. We try hard to do the best we can! The Altima communitty has been a great group to serve and we always look forward to doing business with you guys.

Kyle, thanks for the explanation.

I guess I should get off my behind and place an order before the prices go up all around seeing how it's not a glitch...that's what I get for procrastinating.

Edit: A word of caution...the "other" site charges for shipping.

Who is cheaper in the end? Shipping needs to be factored in before you click the order button. At Stillen, a lot of items have "free" shipping - with $10 handling & insurance.

Currently @:

Stillen---Stillen lip: $241.80shipping: $9.95Total: 251.75

G35---Stillen lip: $228.10shipping: $40.71Total: 268.81

I'm glad someone posted that Stillen offers free shipping on many items because it plays a huge part in the overall cost for the consumer.

Us Canucks still get the shaft though...especially with UPS!When I received my Stillen RSB, I had to pay an extra $49 in charges to UPS in supposed "tax & duty". So much for NAFTA, hey? I'm terrified to think how much I'll be charged when my rims arrive........

Thats retarded UPS. If they ship via USPS there is no charge except for GST+PST (if applicable in your province)

I would always prefer to deal with the original manufacturer if they have a retail store. So, I'll be going to Stillen even if it costs a couple dollars more,which I believe we have found that it does not cost more.

Better customer service etc...

Its a HUGE part... im in NY, so the stillen front fascia is like 150 or something to ship. I would have gotten it the day it came out if they shipped it free. I just cant bring myself to pay that much for shipping something.

For some reason though it says that it is only the axle back. I would give them a call.

The fascia is a flat rate shipping charge of $89 to anyone in the 48 states, including NY...

Yes! I'm sorry for the confusion. Perhaps I need to add that more bold in the general description. Right now it's in the application notes.

Good point beeristasty.

Another FYI for everyone-- I was at my local Nissan Dealership today and the parts department said they can order Stillen parts at discount although by the time it comes, I'm sure you would have to pay tax to your dealership and it'd be around the same cost.

Anyway, I've ordered a bunch of stuff from Stillen so far and I have been very pleased. I can understand the price rising from, well, the price inflations.

Dont buy from G35parts.com ecspecially u Jako because yesterday i bought the greddy Ti-C exhaust from there and today they sent me an email saying the price was raised they are doing false advertising and I checked today they still have the same price as they did before when they said it went up.
