Fox Marketing Body Kit Painted and Installed - Pictures

[packerjd04]

Looks pretty sick, would love to see some more pics though!!!

[johnny_d]

Guys,

this should be a thread that gives us different options for our Coupes. If you like it say so, if you don't like it, say it. I don't think this is appropriate for us to be accusing Fox or Stillen of copying each other. We simply do not have enough facts about it. If they feel inclined, there are ways for them to settle it. As consumers we should be thankful for choices.

[mcheddadi]

I guess I'm blind because both look COMPLETELY different to me...

the rear does look wierd a little though...

[AltiCoupeDriver]

LOL at all the fanboys. I think both pieces look good, and like previously stated, many after market bumpers look similar. Also, rjdmmfl1, I think the Fox Marketing one might have been available first.

[desertdragon]

wow. ..

I guess I am blind too. I don't think they look alike.

In the car industry, it is very hard to say who copies who. But then again, who cares? As long as we have options.

[rjdmmfl1]

robert! the foxmarketing kit has been availible for a long time. it wasn't released for purchase when this thread was created. it was availible long before the stillen front fascia was and not that it really matters because both kits have very different looks to them, but it's just a fact. also, who cares if the sema coupe was dropped 2 inches? it was built in about 4 days to be a show car, not a car to r & d parts for as no parts on that car are availible for purchase besides the stillen front lip and the wheels and tires. the kit looks good in my eyes and some of you just aren't really feelin' it. everyone has an opinion, but talking sh*t is just weak, especially when the person who designed this bodykit is the one who posted the pictures for our viewing and is also giving us more options for cosmetically upgrading our altima coupes. when first viewing this thread i thought i was on the other forum. rediculous!

in regards to the springs, i think I had multiple threads open because I read something where someone asked about how they lowered it, but again, that was on another thread so I apologize for even mentioning that, in doing so, it appeared that I was on an all out war against foxmarketing by bringing up something as unrelated as the springs, when in reality I really just wanted to point out the similarities between the two kits, but ended up responding to a post on another thread. Sorry again!

Speaking on that, for you guys that don't see similarities, I don't see how you don't see the similarities... seriously, take away the grill, fiberglass Stillen's front lip to Stillen's front fascia, and it looks very similar... and this is my problem with that...YES, companies often make similar fascias for cars, but NOT when there's only TWO fascias available. I'm disappointed at the lack of variablilty between the two beyond the grill and fiberglass vs urethane. At this point in the life of the A/C, I would hope variety would be a goal. And the two current front bumpers and side skirts from the two companies are just too similar IMO. I just thought and expected to see something different. And yes, I absolutle hate the FAT A$$ that the rear bumper add-ons provide. Its just ugly IMO.

And for the last time, I'm just commenting on the picture that Brian posted. i don't really care if anyone feels the same way or not, post your opinions and I'll post mine, and we will continue to function as we always do, no big deal. As I said, I'm not a Stillen rep, nor am I sponsored by them, I'm just responding to a thread that was posted that IMO showed a kit very similar to the one offered by another company.

And if indeed the Fox marketing kit was developed and on sale months ago, then you guys should do a better job of marketing because apparently VERY FEW people on this forum knew about it. Seems like it would be good busniess, if nothing else, to do better advertising of your kit on one of the country's largest Altima Coupe forums! I understand you only sell it through bodykits.com, but no one on this forum has talked about it, and that seems a bit strange.

[alphapig]

Yay, options!

That looks straight up mean! Very aggressive look guys, I like!

[mcheddadi]

Yay, options!

I concur!

[adidas2go]

Yea never really got a clear cut answer. Is it polyurethane or not.

[FoxMarketingVersa]

If you look at the kit I designed and the Stillen one it is a bit different. The mouth of the kit is angled different, the grill is 100 percent different and even the vents on the front end is different. Who knows if my design modivated them on Stillen's design or not, I honestly don't care. Stillen makes a great product, bottom line, I hear the product fits great and that is awesome to consumers. Stillen is doing a great job selling the kit and people like you are hooking them up and Nissan is VERY happy about that.

My job was just to get this car out to manufactures to make products so people like me and you could hook them up. Now my car is hooked up and that is what I wanted to begin with. At the time when I started building my car Stillen didn't have any parts made or would before SEMA so I couldn't market there products. I would have bought there kit, and changed the grill because I'm just not a big fan of that. But, you can't please everyone right?

What the kit is made of:The kit that BodyKits.com sells is fiberglass but the fitment on the two kits I just got is 100 percent perfect like OE. This was VERY important to me because 99 percent of fiberglass kits are JUNK!! They are thin, they don't fit, and require a lot of work to make right. If my name was going to go on it, it was going to be quality PERIOD. I'm all about quality and that is what my name stands for like the cars I build. If your name is on something, you need to make sure it is right. I can assure you with the two kits I test fitted on the car I was VERY impressed by the fitment and quality of the kit. There dead on and I put my name on it and stand behind it.

Also, you can not chop or should not cut the springs in the Altima Coupe. I honestly looked into doing that before SEMA but found the 02 and up TEIN springs fit in the car so used them. Eibach just didn't have the springs done yet and didn't want to make the Altima look like a 4x4 with wheels on it.

As far as my original comment, we as end users don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but we do know that STillen released their prodcts months ago, and now Fox marketing has its kit released for purchase.

maybe you didnt, but i did an im sure other people did too

Regarding who gave who ideas, ya'll can clear that up yourselves, but I DEFINATELY see obvious comparisons between the two, and anyone that can't see that is blind.

actually im not blind... you say take the stillen lip, take the grill off do this do that... hell by the time your done guessing what it would look like , i could build a kit. the kit doesnt look like the stillen bumper to me, the bottom grill side flow inward, not outward like stillens, the grill is the stock one unlike stillens... an the bottom lip is totally different... the fox marketing kit is rounded, unlike the stillen which has very straight lines

If it was done as a joint effort, that's one thing, but if it wasn't and indeed designs were borrowed or whatever, that's another. I do remember the original rendering of the kit in its unfinished version, wasn't particularly impressed then and I'm still not... that's just my opinion , nothing more. I personally don't particularly care for the Stillen front fascia either, but again that's just my opinion.

Regarding the kits themselves, I appreciate the choice between fiberglass and urethane, but having had previous experience with both, I would NEVER purchase a fiberglass kit... when they don't fit perfectly, they can be a BIT*H to try and make fit. They aren't very flexible, and if they have imperfections, they show through when paint is applie- they look like spider web cracks! Specifically, regarding the foxmarketing kit, I think the front is too smooth for the lines of the Altima coupe, it just doesn't seem to mesh well in my opinion. And the back looked pretty bad in its pre-production version, maybe the final version is different.

In regards to loyalty, umm yeah, with the numerous group buys and excellent customer service, it'd be hard to find a Nico member that isn't appreciative of everything Stillen has done. Not to say that folks don't appreciate other companies developing parts, but don't just expect folks to except anything thrown at them.

In regards to someone's comments about the springs, I thought it was mentioned that they lowered the A/C two inches. I thought someone stated that it was done by cutting the springs... that ride is probably awful, so that's not something you would want to mimic.

Again, I don't work for Stillen and I'm not sponsored by Stillen.. but as a consumer of products for the A/C I def have opinions on the products.

In regards to foxmarketing in general, I have other comments, but I don't want to unfairly slander them on this online forum,I'll contact Foxmarketing directly for that

[adidas2go]

maybe you didnt, but i did an im sure other people did too

and who are you again?

[mcheddadi]

So true

[vi3t89]

i think fox marketing posted it up awhile while back on the forum , their was pictures of the kit but it wasnt painted and it said it was for sale from bodykits.com blah blah blah kinda thing....

[Miss_Lanaya]

That kit has been available online at bodykits.com for a while now, this is just the first time I've seen it painted...it would be nice to see a couple more pictures....why would someone fork out 900$ for a kit when they havent seen what it truly looks likes??? More pics please!!!!!!!!!! And I agree with Mcheddadi-->Looks almost identical to the kit on the G35

[AkAd3MiKs]

Yep its been on there for awhile now. It looks like the g35 kit bcuz they used a g35 front kit and custom fitted it to the altima. Yo Foxmarketing, was it a perfect fit when you used the 02+ Altima Tein springs or did you had to modify it a little? Whats the model number of the springs you got? I really want that drop man. Oh and one more thing, could you post up more pics? Thanks.

[adidas2go]

Ive never seen a flawless fiberglass kit in my life. I want to see someone on the forum get this, could work out

[fullvietFX]

That front bumper is a blatant copy of the Top Secret G35 front bumper. The kit from http://www.bodykit.com is a replica of the real thing. Replicas are produced all the time it's nothing new.

[LegendRacer]

why cant someone come up with a grill similar to that one ^^

I believe the grill itself is called the Gialla which i have been hoping to get since the day i bought my car lol

[Cali 2 Balti G]

and who are you again?

He's godsgift

Seriously - I would think folks would be happy just to have options. All of the kits shown so far have similarities in appearance.

As for the rear - it looks like Foxmarketing took the extra step of blending the pieces into the stock rear fender so that it appears to be one piece - rather than something that was tacked and double sided taped on. I'll leave to others to comment on the appearance - but I'm just pointing out that - is a step beyond a typical kit installation.

Isn't the stock AC rear end one of the biggest positives on the car - if so then less is more. Seems like the biggest complaint is the front end of the car - so it appears that Fox was trying to make the front and sides more agressive - with a less aggressive approach on the rear.

Damn SOME of you AC guys are soooo critical!

[mcheddadi]

That front bumper is a blatant copy of the Top Secret G35 front bumper. The kit from http://www.bodykit.com is a replica of the real thing. Replicas are produced all the time it's nothing new.

SO the g35 terminator is a copy of that top secret g35 kit too! LOOOL

the g35 terminator bodykit:

http://www.bodykits.com/store/...age=1

That means that the foxmarketing bodykit is a copy of a copy of the g35 top secret kit lol.

well I don't really mind, copying is the greatest form of flattery after all hehe. The g35 guys are going to be happy lol

Abyhow, as long as we get lots of bodykits for the coupe, I'll be happy lol

[maxentropy]

More pictures please...

And I'm with the rest of you-- options ftw.

The more companies competing, the better it is for us consumers.

[godsgift]

and who are you again?

i dont know where your goin with that comment... but one thing im not is stillens fanboy!!!!

[desertdragon]

i dont know where your goin with that comment... but one thing im not is stillens fanboy!!!!

Oooouch.....

[dangeris]

Jeeez....This thread became a pissing contest. Who really cares who came out with what first or who copied who! Can't we just all be happy that more companies are coming out with products for the coupe, which means more choices for the consumer.

I agree with Blake in regards with fiberglass kits though. I too have never seen a fiberglass kit that bolted up well but that doesn't mean that someone finally developed one that did.

Bottom line is guys/gals the more products that is developed for the coupe the better! That means no monopolies in the coupe market which in turn will drive prices down for us consumers. A little competition is always good!

Hey Fox Marketing, Can you throw up more pics please so we all can have a better idea of how it looks all the way around. Thanks Man!

I have a feeling after getting bashed so bad on here, FoxMarketing won't be so anxious to post anything on here. I agree with a lot of you that it really doesn't matter who did what first but I think that the can of worms was opened when FoxMarketing made that comment to Blake on the other thread...Again though, I think we should just all be happy that there are more companies out there with interest in our car. Doesn't mean we all can't have our "favorites" though.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Wow, some of you kill me. Don't be so critical of a company producing options for us.

Lets all just take a step back, seems like we've hit some nerves here.

[adidas2go]

i dont know where your goin with that comment... but one thing im not is stillens fanboy!!!!

I was going with... since you chimed in with the "I see things behind the scenes" comment. You apparently know the information that many crave. So enlighten us with some legitimate answers and not snippy comments on how "you know things"

Cmon bro we all saw it. This was robert said. "As far as my original comment, we as end users don't know what goes on behind the scenes" and your response was "maybe you didnt, but i did an im sure other people did too". If you meant something different, i apologize, that was what i saw in the post.

I saw the kit many months ago, unpainted and looked like a prototype. However i also saw this picture many months before that.
