I saw a stillen fascia in person for the first time last week.. I was dissapointed. That said I still vote the fascia, the one I saw was poorly installed (BY THE DEALER! the car was new on a dealers lot) and the whole thing was white, no black bars or dividers at all. They probably called it a "sport package" because it had the spoiler as well, but no side skirts lol. Done properly the whole fascia is beautiful.. use adidas as the example for the fascia, him or dangeris, both perfect coupes in my eyes :p

The Stillen front fascia changes the entire look of the car, the Stillen front lip keeps the same idea of the car, with a more aggresive look.IMO

Also have to consider the soon to be option 3, Stillen Front Splitter. Think this this is the route I am going to go once it's released.

If you can stomach the wait, hold out to see what Nismo's will look like…. It's what I'm doing and no one will beat their quality, I don't care what anyone says. Right now it's on their "under development" list along with the wheels, spoiler, and springs.

fascia, i think if you go by the stillen pictures they dont look good though. i wasnt impressed the first time i saw it on the website ( i was the one who asked if it looked like a civic ). but when i saw it on dangeris and adidas, i changed my mind. And now actually having it, i think it looks much better in person..

something about the stillen picture, i dunno if its the blue...or the angle, but it definitely doesnt do it justice.

i think the fascia but the grill has to go. i mean, i used to hate it but after seeing Addidas car and everything i decided to purchase the fascia and cut out the grill. in the end it should look something like this



now you can't say a lip looks better then that (in my opinion) lol

They are properly installed with the OeM bracket removed from the factory bumper adn placed on teh stillen bumper with the foam peice removed. If I remember that whole deal correctly lol. If things go as I plan ill be ordering a fascia and some time attacks soon.. and Hussain, would you mind too terribly if I go along with ur idea? lol mesh stillen bumper :-p looks awesome!

lol no problem. only thing tho, is that when you cut it you'll have holes that you need a shop to a fix for you but that shouldn't be hard

Yea its because a shop didn't this install. I did. I spoke with Kyle and Josh several times to guarantee all the correct steps, when I picked up the very first fascia. I also went back and worked with them on the correction and addition of a few steps. With a good amount of mechanical know how you can install it the right way with no defects or sagging!

Do you have close-up pics of the facia with the grill cutout or did you photoshop it?

Neither.

Used to like both, but they just don't do it for me anymore.

i'm partial to lip kits. aggressive is not for me even though the fascia does look nice. with that said, i would not buy the lip since it doesnt come with its two sisters (side skirts) and distant brother (rear lip) which would hopefully remove that black plastic between the blow holes.

I just wish the Front Fascia had incorporated the fog lights into their housing somehow for us 3.5SE owners. Why give up perfectly good fog lights?

i was checking out the fascia (it's just sitting in my friend's garage) and the top little vent thing (sort of where fog lights usually go), theres enough room for the fog light. not enough room for the whole fog light holder but enough for the fog light. so i mean you could just drill a couple screws that no one would be able to see and have the fog lights on. i plan to do that when i finally get my fascia on
