Newbie here (to this board - not to "modding")! I notice a few of you have the stillen lip spoiler ( http://www.stillen.com/product...LTIMA ) and was hoping you could give me more info on it:

It appears to only be held on with the 3M double sided tape. Is it secure enough with just that? I installed a chin spoiler on my old mustang and it was held on w/ 3M tape in the front and was secured with the screws in the fender wells.

Thanks!

Hmm wonder if the coupe one is only 3M and the Sedan one has scews for the fender wells?

Do you also have the side skirts? Not sure how it would look w/ just the lip spoiler, but don't know if the side skirts are worth the $$ b/c they aren't THAT different from the stock ones.

I want this more and more every day (especially as I'm getting tired of staring at the damage to my right front corner...), but I can't commit to it without the rest of the kit to go with it.

Without the side skirts, the nose seems to have a heavier appearance. Looks incomplete to me. And, of course, once you throw on the side skirts, the back bumper looks incomplete. That's why I haven't committed to the front lip yet.

Yea I was thinking that too (about the side skirts making the rear look incomplete). Didn't see anything for the rear for sedans though

Doesn't look that way, at least on Stillen's website. They've got a lip, fascia, and side skirts, but nothing for the back. Bummer.

Hmm thought they were just for the coupe?! I am seeing a definite bias towards Coupe's in the aftermarket stuff so far Sucks for us Sedan owners!! This is my first Sedan (always had coupe's in the past - had to get the 4 door b/c putting my baby girl in my 2 door's backseat was killing my back!).

hahahah no way im in the exact same situation im getting tired of the damage to my front right corner and i dont want to just get the lip cause it wouldnt be complete without the whole kit, plus its only 400 bucks more for the whole kit whereas if you buy it all seperate. But painting is the killer......

I have the lip right now with no corners or sides installed and it looks great. I do have the sides ordered and the rear....although im trying to sell the sides because I really cant afford it.
