Don't Kill me but.... does anyone think that the Stillen front fascia makes the front of the car look like a civic??? I love my altima coupe and how rare it is here..and I would hate for it to look like a civic. So what are ur opinions/reactions from family members/friends?? especially the ones who have them. regardless, can someone put a video of it on youtube driving by so everyone can see?

I didn't vote because the answer I'm looking for isn't on there. I think it makes it look GT-R ish, but thats just me.

i had the same reaction as everyone else when you said civic but when i thought about it more i can see what you mean.... the new civic coupes, have a slight resemblance but i'd be able to distinguish the two apart.

the front bumper sorta resembles it but the stillen front is more defined, more bigger. plus the grills are completely different and the lights are completely different

I think he's talking about the way the bottom part looks

A lot of cars have this look nowadays,



more of the mouth effect thing

SO it definitely doesn't.. thanks for all the replies. I really want to get it..i dont have anything against it..that was just my impression when i first saw the blue coupe on the stillen website..and i asked two other ppl to look at it they agreed..but when i saw the other coupes on the forum..they all looked alot better. maybe its just the way it looked on the blue coupe. Anyway, thanks again, im definitely getting it now.

sorry for thinking it looks like a civic. peace

I nominate this thread for "Best thread ever!"

Realistically you can find design ques in a Mercedes that might remind you of a Carolla.

It is hard to make a car look different than it came from the factory without slightly resembling any other cars. When we developed the body kit for the A/C we started from scratch. No other cars in mind, we actually went through about 8 renderings before we were happy with the final version. At the end of the day we are humans developing the body kits so if we see something we like on another car it is probably in the back of our minds when we develop new parts for the A/C. So I'm sure there was some sub-concious design influence but I assure you it was not from the honda line-up hahaha.

Humm, those Black blades coming out of the side. If there's three of them, it would make it R8ish. :p

Personally, I don't like the two bars for the grill. Can that be taken out out to leave an empty space, maybe with personalized forged grilled?

...That's the whole reason for me getting the Stillen front end...that's because I can't afford a Civic Si so I wanted to make my coupe "look" like a Civic Si. I think I did a pretty good job in doing so..What do you think?



Joking with ya man. I don't see the resemblance at all
