Race Mesh Install on Stillen Fascia

[dangeris]

Hi Guys/ Girls, Since there hasn't been a write up on this, I thought I'd do one for the people who have the Stillen Fascia and have wondered of how it would look with a Race Mesh. It wasn't that hard to do but the temperature wasn't cooperating...17 degrees today. I'm sure it would have been a lot easier if the bumper was off.

Here's a list of what you'll need to complete the install:

2 sheets of Race Mesh (I used black)Pair of Tin Snips4" tie wrapsTape Ruler

First off, you'll need to remove the shroud below that is attached by 11 clips.

Next, here's the mesh that I used. It was given to me for free so I couldn't beat the price. You'll need to cut 2 pieces at 9"x8", 8"x15" and a 8"x26" piece with the Tin Snips.



After you cut the pieces, you'll need to bend the 2 pieces with a 1" bend on both sides. The middle should measure 6". The pic below shows one end with a 3/4" and the other with a 1 1/4" bend. I adjusted the length on the other piece.

Before you bend the pieces, make sure you have the orientation of the grille the right way



The pics below shows where you should drill 1/8" holes. Note, when drilling the holes on the post, make sure you only drill on the side facing the outside. Believe me, when I was drilling the fascia, you'd thought I was doing surgery on my own kid!



Next, take one of the 8"x9" mesh and slip it up and in behind the bumper. Use a tie wrap to secure it. Make sure the head of the wrap is behind the grill. Do this for both sides.



Next take the 26" long mesh that is bent with the 1" ridge and slip it behind and up between the back of the bumper. Make sure that the 1" flap is "sandwiched" between the bottom of the metal bumper rail and the fascia. Once you have it place make sure that the end of the grill "splits" on one of the support posts. Starting at corner FURTHEREST from the middle ,use a tie wrap to secure it, again making sure that the head of the tie wrap is behind the mesh. Depending where you start (Left or Right) you'll be securing the mesh on one of the post but leaving the other post unsecured UNTIL you install the final piece.



Once that piece is installed, Slip the final piece up and secure that with the tie wraps. When securing the final piece to the post, make sure that the tie wrap goes thru BOTH meshes

This is what it should look like after it's all done.









Hopefully this instructional guide was as clear as mud. Let me know if you guys have further questions.

Naaah..that's some homeless guy. He happened to be walking in my neighborhood with a camera! Lucky Me!

[Team STILLEN]

Darryl.. that looks AWESOME! I'm loving the red/black combo. Any chance we could use some photos for the STILLEN website and/or some of our print ads we run in the major magazines?

ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTLY!!!!

We're getting pounded with bad weather up here but as soon as it clears up, I'll clean her up and take better photo's. Just let me know what email to send the pics to!!!! Thanks Josh!

[Team STILLEN]

Sweet! Definitely when it clears up get us some photos, my email is in my profile. A good location is cool, also consider backing up to a solid color building (white is great).. helps with photoshopping and the like..

[dangeris]

No Problem Josh! Maybe, by that time, the drop will be on and so will the new wheels! That would be too cool to see my ride on your website or possibly in a major magazine that Stillen advertises in!

[Team STILLEN]

We mounted and installed addidas2go's wheels/tires today.. it looks sick. It's amazing what a set of wheels do for the coupe, especially with the fascia..

The mold is being finalized for the urethane rocker panels now, we should have the production pieces the middle of next week. I hope you guys love them as much as we do.

[dangeris]

Can't wait to see the rockers! I'm sure they're going to "ROCK" !!!! Sorry, couldn't resist! Anyway are there any plans of a rear fascia too?

[FGFCacoupe]

Stillen does big things

[2brian0]

Looks nice! Any way you could throw up a full front shot from further back so we can see the whole package complete? Again, nice job....

[dangeris]

Yup! I'll do that first thing tomorrow!...after I brush off the freakin snow we just got! UUUUGH..I wanna move to Vegas sooooo bad! I miss the warm weather! It was like close to 80 there today! and here I am freezing my bum off! I feel so guilty being in a warm house and my baby is outside freezing. I should go out there and throw a blanket over her!

[Team STILLEN]

lol.. too funny..

Originally we had no plans for the rear end, but as anything, the more we've looked at it, and had some time for ideas, some have come up.

That being said, we're getting beat up by some other vehicles (yes we hear you sedan guys.. ) so I can't say for sure how quickly we can devote the modeling shop to nailing that down.

There is never a dull moment at the STILLEN compound, and we'll do our best to keep you informed of what's coming down the pipeline.

[2brian0]

Yeah, it was 82 here today...

[dangeris]

Yeah, it was 82 here today...

Thanks for rubbing that in

[2brian0]

Sorry, couldn't resist....Although you could just turn around and rub in the fact that Stillen wants to put your car in some print. More than most all of us can say.....Just a little jealous!

[FGFCacoupe]

Yea homie thats whats good. Having your car in a magazine, thats a bet.

[Team STILLEN]

You're not getting out of things that easy Brian, you've got the other half of the STILLEN offerings..

The only difficulty is that it's black (I have a black G35, PITA to shoot and get any detail out without a full photo studio) and sometimes detail is difficult to tell via photos..

Would love to have some images from you as well..

[2brian0]

Would love to give you some shots but you're right, everything seems to just blend in unless the lighting is just right. I'm definitely an amateur photographer but if you guys give me an idea of what type of shots you want, I'll do my best. I'll send you an e-mail so you have my e-mail address, not big into advertising it on the net.

[FGFCacoupe]

While your taking the pictures, you should take an exhaust video and send that too. It would be great to have on the site. I know I would love to hear the exhaust after being broken in like yours. Congrats again though homie.
