Got it installed this morning! I personally put it on so i can tell you a few problems you will run into.



You will need to remove these wind deflectors. They just unclip.



You will need to remove the foam piece behind the fascia.

Other than that everything else is pretty straight forward. The fascia is pre-marked but not pre-drilled. The markings however are in the right spot for drilling and drill out easy. Also the fascia comes with pretty well thought out step by step instructions. The other steps i have pictured however are not in the instructions. Maybe you can put these steps in your instructions Kyle. The fascia was also well molded and fit perfectly. No fabrication required. However recommend fitting the fascia to the car before you paint it due to the fact that every car is a little different.

Here is the finished product!

i think you should put mesh on the bottom part...it kind of makes it ugly to see all the parts under. but other than good job

Cut those "things" and replace it with a black mesh

i dont think that mesh=rice...unless your gonna rock the artisan performance turbo, that way you could have your intercooler showing, not the crap behind it

Just personal preference. Mesh is on every civic and eclipse in the world who wants to look fast. No my style

very nice, Blake. We have to touch and feel this tomorrow If you don't like mesh, how about painting those tubes black so they won't be too distracting from the car's front fascia?

Great install, looks very clean!

However, I guess we know now why Stillen picked the angles of their shots on their website. There has got to be a clean way to dress up the bottom portion and I'm sure you will find it. Again, nice job!

all of Stillens shots are photo edited. On there car the top grill is really the color match of the car. So i can only imagine what they did with there background. Also they painted there radiator and ****. Heres a shot i took at Stillen HQ in Costa Mesa.

i think it looks better painted all one color (the grill part)especially on darker color cars, since u barely see a difference, mine as well match it up

if the car is white, then black stands out... i think it would look nicer for ur car if it was painted entirely instead of the stillen scheme

Well then, maybe just a little bit of black paint will make all of the difference. Since color matching my grill, I've thought about painting my radiator myself.

Either way, still a very nice mod and definitely one of the first on the street.

Ya its the first on the street actually. I went and picked up the fascia personally myself on wednesday an hour after it came out the mold. It was the very first

I like the black out in the front. Matches the black diffuser between the exhaust in the back.

NICE! Stillens pictures are nice, but its always better to see it when somebody has done it themselves. Now I want one... Is it much lower than the stock bumper?

i like the bumper, i just think it looks better with the bottom grill an the middle of the lip down bottom to be painted black, so it matches the rear diffuser like the stillen one, i will get this bumper soon, if i dont find another that i like

Yes. There isn't a dedicated location for them. You'd have to do a custom mount.
