I am looking to buy a ED Front bumper or Stillen front bumper. Prefer to buy used or trade plus cash for my stock front bumper.

How much did you guys pay to get it painted and installed? Was the fitment good? I hear there are some sagging issues with stillen.

fitment has always been an issue with the stillen fascia, some members have been able to fix it. i however, have not. i paid a total of about close to a grand for the fascia itself, plus paint & installation. brand new from stillen was 600 something, then 350 for paint & installation.

You get what you pay for. Duraflex or Urethane. I have had ED parts before and have had nothing but problems with fitment issues. Everything I get from stillen goes on with ease. I would stick with stillen.

If you had issues, did you contact us regarding them? Did you return the product or did you keep it? Any feedback is always appreciated! Thanks!

I called but the person who answered said its common for parts not to fit perfectly. Which I totally understand, its aftermarket. But the hassle in fitment from ED vs. Stillen, Stillen is 1000 times easier. Urethane is the way to go.

There have been some other people on the forum complain about the fitment issues and the amount of prep work that needs to be put in for ED's duraflex.

I would just stick with stillen. They engineer their products to go on with ease and if you have an issue they will replace the part or even help you put it on.
