I want the stillen spitters to go on the stillen front lip, with the stillen grille when it comes out. That is what I am waiting for, and then I will get the stillen side skirts.

*bump back to the top*

Any word on the splitter? Stillen is advertising the splitter for the Coupe in the latest car mags, but where is it?

I hate bugging, but was just wondering if there was any new word.

It's my first lowered car and with only the OEM front, I've scraped once so far You said the Stillen Fascia is the same length off the ground as the OEM front bumper?

I need to remember not to pull into driveways that look like mountains anymore...

Nonono, the Stillen fascia is a good deal lower than the stock. Also, it has a lip of sorts on the bottom, where as the stock fascia is rounded.

Looks like you need to learn some ground clearance strategies! Usually it just means going very slowly, and sometimes hitting bumps at an angle.

I think if you got the Stillen fascia now it would be a massacre

The Stillen bumper clearance is like this: if you take a standard license plate, the clearance is as high as the width of the license place frame. Whenever I exit a parking lot I always go all the way to the left and go about 45 degrees to the street blocking incoming traffic then exit, lolzBTW, I just saw the Stillen splitters in the 08 Catalog under the Altima section. Yet it's not on the website.

I spoke with Josh about the splitter on Saturday. He will be checking on these Monday morning. He said the splitter have been done for a while now, he was as boggled as I was to find out they weren't available yet. I will let you guys know

Johnny, license plate dimensions at 12.5"x6.5". My fascia is 5 inches off the ground with the prokit. Now, whats your height again?

Weird? Maybe the prototype Prokit turned out lower?

I'd be interested exactly how far off the ground the fascia rests (of course I'd have to add in my eibachs 1.5" drop math)

Well, with the Prokit my fascia is 5 inches off the ground. So I imagine without it its 6.5 inches off the ground. However, with the Prokit the frame is only 4 inches off the ground, don't take speed bumps to fast! Ask Robert about that when he first drove my car after the prototype

Also, I couldn't get a hold of Josh today, he must have had a lot going on. I will try again tomorrow!

Blake, I just remembered that my tires are 245/40/19 but i'm running 19x8 not 19x8.5 ....... Your tires are 235/35/19 arent they? and you're running 19x8.5? that would explain the differences. Aniway, looks like i got 5.5'' clearance lolz see the pics w/ the license plate and the rulers as reference.The stock bumper is designed with the front of the bumper higher therefore when you go down a dip it's not as low. With the Stillen bumper, the front is the same height and when going down a dip, it is the lowest point

Clearance on the side of the bumperCenter of the bumper.
