I really, really like it! I would definitely buy that if they made it for the sedan.

The site says for coupe only so I'll take their word on it. Don't know how much different the two are though.

i think someone should look into this, i mean they share the same hood so upper part of the bumper should fit, and if you compare this image

to generics sig you'll see that they look very similar. someone should measure the differences between the sedan and the coupe at the next nissan meet where ever it gets held

After seeing it from all angle my verdict is that, it's nice, but not my taste. It reminds me too much of the old gen altima...:S

the black with blue is awesome and I could do that since I have a blue one, but just not like that...I don't find the grille appealing

ah well...

Wish I could just get the grill portion but it looks integrated into the bumper. I like the simplicity of it. It's the first grill I've seen that I like.

I also thought it looked a lot like the previous Altima which makes my car 1 generation older but hehe, it's nice though, like it better than Foxmarketing version. Not sure but I think perhaps a meshed grill can be put in there easily?

nope, not interchangeable... remember, the headlights are different, thus the area on the bumper under the headlights are different!

so...is it possible to swap out the lights for coupe ones? just like some of the 02-04 swaped their bumper, grille, and lights to look like an SE-R?

I really like it. I'd rather get the lip simply because I can keep my fogs and keep that simplistic "factory" look. Very nice though.

From what Nissan said, the only interchangeable part for the sedan and coupes besides the engine bay is the hood.

Really liking the Facia. As far as the fog lights, I guess I wouldn't mind making a bracket or even ditching them for a nice face lift. I agree it resembles the older altimas but there's a big part of my taste that has never like the front bumper of the coupe, just me of course. But looking at 2BrianO's setup gives me hope for what can be done with a lip and some paint. A nice powder coated grille might be nice (no chrome http://www.stillen.com/product...LTIMA).

I too thought about getting the T-rex top and bottom grille and then powercoating black to match the color of the plastic around the fog lights.

I think its a lot cleaner than the cheap plastic honeycomb stock insert. I'm just not a chrome guy. Some kind of lip would definitely finish it off. I've actually been holding off a long time for Stillen to release this bumper before I ordered the grille. Still going to give it some good thought but I'm just about sold on the Facia replacement.
