I'm still not sure Blake, I'm waiting to see the grille replacement from stillen before I decide to jump in on the whole stillen bumper.

here's a preview of what It would look like, if I decide to get it:

the honey comb grille in metallic green, silver and blue? or the stillen as an insert in the original OEM bumber (replacing the honeycomb grille). with logo or no logo?

Yea I definately cant wait for Stillen's grille replacement either so I can get the Stillen front lip to go with it (real soon). I hope its real similar to the grille from the fascia.

Post by **LegendRacer** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 1:44 pm

how much is did you guys pay for the bumper?

right now it says sale for 479... i think its kinda expensive but considering its including the grill its decent priced..

Post by **adidas2go** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 2:11 pm

500 something including tax

Not too happy with the body shop I took my car to anymore.. Supposed to be the best in town but the paint didnt even last a month. Calling them first thing in the morning and taking it back so they can fix it and hopefully get it right.

Oh, and yes that is a fog light you are seeing. I was going to take pictures of them, but now it will have to wait a bit longer because of this mess.

TELL THEM TO USE PRIMER!!!

I don't care what ANYONE says, you have to use primer on urethane. Alot of painters will tell you that they use a "special prep/adhesion promoter" for their urethane...They are wrong...THEY NEED TO USE PRIMER!!!

I had a similar problem with one of my painter's. I had to take the bumper from my Titan back and yell at him to use primer. Once he used primer the paint never flaked again.

TELL YOUR PAINTER'S TO USE PRIMER!!!!

Sorry for the annoying caps but I can not emphasize this enough.

By the way, excellent work on the fogs. They look great!

When you have a chance to give us a review/how to on that we will put it up on our website...Great work!!!

Also, in the third picture it looks like they did not properly prep the urethane. That shine should not be there.

If you need another copy of the installation/preparation instructions let me know. I'd be happy to email or fax them to you.

Kyle is right. When my Body Shop prepped my bumper, it was dull as hell compared to the shiny gloss it came in.

how much should the bumper installation cost. East Coast?

Post by **jtnanospy** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 4:05 pm

I got mine done for $350. Just make sure they do it right so you dont have the headache of taking it back to them. Oh well, guess Im making them earn their $350.

just picked up the bumper today, will be dropping it off tomorrow morning. I'm thinking about painting everything silver except the grill. What do u guys think? Maybe even ask them to paint the grill black instead of leaving it unpainted

Sent you an email ;-)

Post by **dangeris** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 4:16 pm

Post by **adidas2go** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 4:37 pm
