Post by **SHIFT_COUPE** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:03 am

Urethane CAN crack under extreme cold. Its been bad around here lately. Sorry to see that happening. Looks like your being taken care of

Post by **kyle@stillen** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:29 pm

Mr_Coupe...Are both the upper and lower portions broken? just the upper, just the lower?

We have one sitting here for you but don't know if we should send both or just one or the other...let me know ASAP and I'll get it sent out.

Thanks for the heed of warning Mr Coupe! Well it seems like everything is intact and not broken. Should be painted by this week and I'll have it installed by next week. Can't wait!

Adidas, when you had your bumper painted, the parts in black (the grille and bottom section), Was that unpainted urethane or did you paint that black?

He left it unpainted. >

its just unpainted raw black urethane. Also i ran armor all cleaning wipes over the raw urethane part and it makes it look much better.

Hey Kyle, how bad does the damage have to be to have it replaced usually? I got mine in and there are 4 cracks in the top portion. I just called it in, but since its so late he said he couldnt really do anything today. There are 3 cracks on one side (one large, one medium, and one small) and one large on the other side. Large being about an inch. I should have waited for the single digit weather to go away

hey kyle did they send out my fascia yet it was the top part that was cracked

Post by **kyle@stillen** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 6:52 am

Yeah, we sent out the top part yesterday. It should be there in a couple days.

Post by **kyle@stillen** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 6:53 am

If anyone in the So Cal area would like to pick one of these up just shoot me an email or give us a call. We're opening Monday through Friday from 7-6 Pacific time and on Saturdays from 8-2 Pacific time.

Margaret got back with me and said the new one was on its way. You still want those pics? It wasnt near as bad as Mr_Coupe's. Thanks

Post by **kyle@stillen** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 2:51 pm

No worries...As long as the new one is on its way.

Margaret does a fantastic job of making sure things go through.

Well I dropped my bumper off at the shop last Tuesday (1/22). Joe the owner said that were swamped and apologized for not getting to it sooner but it's in the painting booth now, all taped and getting ready to be shot with primer. Joe said that they it will be painted and baked by tonight so it has all weekend to stand and dry. I asked him about the black part on the bumper (lower bumper and the grille) and said urethane is usually shiny so nothing has to be done on those parts, However, this bumper was already scuffed (from Stillen no doubt) thus they will be shooting a matte black finish to it. Hope they put the right amount of flex agent into the paint Can't wait to see it next week!

I'm just as excited to see your car as much as anyone. Seeing it on a lighter color is really going to help me out…. poor imagination on my part, a child of the video game generation and all. Also looking forward to the new grille insert and how it will look. The fitment is looking perfect on the kit so far. Haven't seen or read any complains on flaring ect.

Post by **dangeris** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 11:15 am

Yeah, I can't wait to see it on the coupe either. It looks good on the blue stillen coupe but hot damn it's gonna look ultra sexy on the Code Red. Not sure what day they're gonna install it but it's gonna be sometime next week!

Post by **Team STILLEN** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 11:28 am

That's awesome! We at STILLEN can't wait to see it either. Red should look amazing. Please definitely forward some pics when you get it back.

We actually just had our blue Altima repainted (the first go around was a rush to have it ready for something, didn't give the painter time to finish everything). We'll be bringing it out to Oxnard tomorrow for the meet, if anyone wants to see it in person.

You guys in SoCal are soooo lucky! It's freezing of here in PA and I can't wait for spring to come around.

It is a two piece fascia so we would probably just need to change the top piece and leave the lower alone. Basically we just need to get a car in to our design shop for a few weeks.

So do you have a car in your shop?
