I would love, love to have a Stillen badge. I think the almost perfect grille would be incomplete without it. A Stillen licensce plate frame with my hood dampers would be really nice.

It'd be nice if you guys included an optional badge we can put on but I know for my A/C I'd want the grille to be badgeless...Also, 200-300 is pretty overpriced if it's NOT full replacement but hopefully it is

I think having a small Stillen badge (like the Nismo one above) included with the grill would be a nice option for the consumer. Being a mesh grill, the badge could be made so that it could be placed anywhere the consumer wants or not at all. While I like the P.S.'d grill plain, I'd probably rock the Stillen badge (if it were small and discrete) just to give them some props for what they have done for our community. I in no way want to sound like an a$$ kisser but in reality, my car wouldn't be what it is today without their efforts. While I like the way the Nismo badge looks on the car above, I don't think I could put a badge on my car (even though its Nissan) when I don't have any of their parts on my car.

I agree completely. Without a Stillen badge I think the grille would be incomplete. And for those who dont agree, making the badge optional would be perfect.

Yes, include one with the kit (not installed) or have an option for it if the emblem costs extra because I would want the emblem to put somewhere else on the car if possible.

I would definitely be up for this purchase. I can't wait to trick my A/C with some Stillen goodies.

I hope we will get some feedback from Josh on this someday soon. I Know production may be a ways away but he needed a push to get development approval first.

well print out another copy with this post...

STILLEN RULES! STILLEN RULES!

Everyone is looking for a new grille... (some people at stillen may wonder why their intake isnt selling well, one word.. first to market)...

As of now, theres some grilles out there.. and personally i think they look like crap (dont get mad guys).... just not what im looking for... And this is the 1 part of the car i hate...

What i would hate to see happen is that XYZ company comes out with a half decent grill... and everyone buys it... and stillen is left in the dust... I dont just want another grill... i want a STILLEN GRILL! my .02

^^^ Man is making sense. The grilles out are by no means an option for a lot of us.

Let's all just remember this was an interest starter topic so it's going to take time to get it through….. We just have to work the guys in charge over there in getting the ball rolling. Josh, give us the email to the guy in charge of making the development decision… lol

Woohoo! I guess I'll chime in now...

Our cars look amazing from behind, however IMHO our cars are somewhat lacking style/edge in the front-- a kick butt stillen Grille is just what the Dr ordered. Oh wait, our "Dr" is into audio/video... nm...

I've always thought the same thing. I'd get the full fascia if I didn't live in a winter state and fear plowing the road. Tough as everyone says it is, I won't risk it.

Josh / Kyle -

Here's an idea, how about Stillen create a poll with a coupe of different concept sketches or whatnot and see which style the community has more interest in? More interest in a specific grille = more money for Stillen. Also, I really hope y'all are first to the market with a decent grille as I would rather support y'all after all the support y'all have provided to us!

yeah... something that gets rid of the mustache and honeycomb would be great. Either a mesh, or something like Stillen's front fascia would be nice...

I think if a pole were ever done (hopefully only started by a Stillen rep), the mesh with a clean urethane surround would win hands down.

I wonder if Stillen is going to get on the ball and make a grille because it seems as thought there is going to be one made by golden customs and i am sure that most people will jump on it.

I know making stuff like this takes time, not only to design and make the prototype, but also to make enough to facilitate the demand (which for this seems like a lot ), but this is a good point a few people have brought up. I would want to buy from Stillen, given the awesome customer service, group buy prices, and the overall quality of their products, but if another one is developed first that is a nice design/quality/price, then Stillen will lose a few sales just for not being first to market. So go Stillen, go!

That looks absolutely sick!

I'd definitely buy one. It would be a better choice for me instead of the front fascia with the crappy pot hole filled roads we have here.

Hey guys,

Thank you very much for the overwhelming interest in more products from stillen.

This grill project has been given the green light and we will begin modeling this week.

We should be ready in a month or two.

Thanks again!!!
