Fox Marketing Body Kit Painted and Installed - Pictures

[FoxMarketingVersa]

Here is a picture of the car from the body shop, very happy with how it looks! Very clean and classy. The whole kit is $899 and front and sides skirts are $299 each which isn't a bad price at all and fitment is perfect from what Powell Customs told me. They said they didn't have to trim anything which is good. Save's on labor for sure..haha.

Seriously, that just seems kinda messed up to me!

I didn't like the unpainted shots at all... but I'd like to see some other painted shots

[rjdmmfl1]

no my friend, look at these... imagine a smooth stillen lip on the stillen fascia.... looks VERY close to that!

[adidas2go]

yea, thats what i said in the other post too about the rockers. Fox marketing chimed in with "nice looking rockers, they look just like ours". O yea? wonder why that is Remember the computer rendering Stillen came out with like 5 months ago....yeah

[LongBeachCoupe]

i wouldnt be so upset if i was stillen... this doesnt look nearly as good... the paint even looks off... they didnt show the rear end at all? why even make the post? Even mentioning trimming it is suspect in my mind lol... I think it is an inferior look to some degree, and it doesnt serve the purpose that i like in the stillen face... THE GRILL! I kinda dig the stock front.. i just want that stillen grill!

[leifab]

To me, that facia looks a little reminiscent of the first gen se-r spec-v's....which isnt bad at all, but somehow it looks a little...cheesier? Just not up to a good quality.

Ya but they probably worked hand and hand with artesian performance who shares the same booth as Nissan at all these big shows. So they have to have the Nissan burger on the front

I'm not quite sure where people have problems. The kit seems different than others produced. A large number of aftermarket kits have similarities to other kits and it is well known that some kits have to be trimmed to work properly (tho this is usually more an issue with longer production runs with the same molds).

[LongBeachCoupe]

well then lets hope that stillen comes out with a decent grill or someone else... i wont do this overlay nonsense and i wont pay for a grill that has an emblem...Regardless of who they share a booth with, why doesnt someone make a grill you can adhere whatever you want to...instead of leaving a big gaping hole for it... I just cant believe that fox took the time to make a post, and didnt have the time to take a shot of the rear? Maybe hes holding it back for the NY show.. but in that case, why show anything...

[godsgift]

Nice job on the car brian!!! I personally see no comparison to the stillen bumper...an if there was , i still would go with the one you designed... i think it flows better. i can assure you guys here one thing... he didnt copy the stillen look... id bet money on it.. why dont some of you guys go to his website an look at all the cars he's built an had his hands on, aint one of em alike. foxmarketing.com

[mcheddadi]

Lol some of us are becoming biased toward Stillen, since they've been so good to us lol

[Loop]

Lol some of us are becoming biased toward Stillen, since they've been so good to us lol

Agree

[audtatious]

Looks to me that the front simply keeps the factory grille. They are not the only kit that does that and I'm not so sure there is any Fox/Nissan handshaking going on in the background either.

As far as posting pictures here, I sure appreciate it. We get to see what is being shown before-hand and they are using this forum to show their products and development first. Look at what Nissan is doing with the Maxima (pictures posted here), which will also be unveiled in NY, and you will see that Fox is going quite further for this forum to give us a sneak peak.

I'm neutral in regards to Stillen and Fox/Artisan/TC and appreciate what each bring to the table. I really look forward to people getting the turbo kit which Fox has helped press into the market. I simply do not understand what seems to read as hostility from members here. If someone were to bring and invest in a turbo kit for the Maxima I know the Maxima forum would be open-armed about it.

[LongBeachCoupe]

AGREED... Something comes with customer service, friendliness, and great deals... LOYALTY... now if we could only get some gb damper action...

Back in May 2007 I show John Zinn the Director of Marketing at Stillen my rendering for the Altima Coupe to see if they wanted to use my kit design. I wonder who gave them any type of design ideas for there Altima Coupe? Did you see there side skirt design, look very close to mine doesn't it...hmmm??

I am working with Stillen on my car and they also helped on the White Turbo Altima Coupe that was at SEMA Show. They are great people, make an awesome product and I can't knock them in any way. We are partners and I'm just happy to see people making product for the Altima Coupe so people can hook them up. That is the gold with me here folks, just get companies to make all kinds of parts.

The site is foxmarketing.net or foxmarketingcars.com so you know..haha.

Don't worry man, I applaud the effort you do. Because of people like you, more and more companies invest in the coupe. thanks A LOT!

[08altima35]

there obviously is a "loyalty" to stillen on this forum which there should be. they've offered the nico altima owners very good deals and have saved us all money on mods that some of us couldn't have otherwise afforded.

on the other hand. we need more companies to market parts than just stillen alone. we all need options and with companies competing for our business it means better pricing and higher quality.

is that the kit?

[LongBeachCoupe]

looks like it... wheres the rear end though lol.. its like nothing?

[prlwhitecoupe]

I dont think everyone wants to be a poster boy for Stillen.

I for one think the Foxmarketing guys have done a great job.

Infact it makes the car look more aggressive, I love it, it looks like its about to prance on you haha.

Keep it up boys!

[Team STILLEN]

Brian,

We have nothing but respect for you, your company, and your achievements, and have been nothing but supportive in your ventures with the Nissan Altima, and have been proud to be a part of the builds you have done.

We do see the differences in the fascia you have developed versus the fascia we created.. and openly welcome any and all parts manufacturers for such as nice platform that Nissan has created with the Altima.

To insinuate that we somehow copied your design is ludicrous, and would appreciate a retraction on that statement. We have an in-house designer that went through hundreds (yes hundreds) of designs for the Altima, and was fine tuned through feedback and ideas throughout the staff at STILLEN, including after John was no longer at STILLEN.

Your kit offers another choice for enthusiasts, and an alternative with the use of (which I understand is) fiberglass, and should provide a less expensive option for the current offerings of body components for the coupe in the marketplace.

We hope there will be continued support from others in the marketplace, which will help to ensure Nissan's support of the Altima, both in the Sedan and Coupe, as all of us will continue to benefit, and more importantly, get to continue the fun and rewarding jobs of developing cool parts for these cars.

Good to see the kit finally installed and painted! Looks good.

I agree with both of these guys man. Also, didnt Foxmarketing come out with the kit before Stillen? Good job on the car guys. I really love the drop on the car and the rims are damn hella beautiful. I wanted to go with the same exact set but now that you have it, I gotta go with something else. I noticed that you guys had that car dropped way before H&R and Eibach came out with their springs, could you tell us what you guys used to drop it? I been looking for coilovers or springs that will give me a fender gap of an inch or less. Also, whats the specs on your rims man? I know their Work Varianza T1s but whats the offset and and width? Lemme know, thanks.

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. 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. 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

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!
