so i got in all my stillen parts and i have to say i wasnt that impressed. I came from the honda world over to nissan and the quality just isnt as good as i expected. The exhaust was some of the poorest quality i have seen compared to other things i have had.

here is an example of my old setup....

i didnt take pics of the stillen before i put it on which i wish i did but anyone who has seen the welds on the inside of it know what im talking about. its like no time was taken to smooth out the inside for the exhaust to flow. Mostly in the y pipe at the rear end of the car.

And as far as the facia goes. i hope the body shop has more luck with it than i did. but i couldnt get the 2 pieces to align. the center hole where the radiator is behind would not line up. its like the opening for the top piece was 2 inches wider than the opening for the bottom. Is that normal? or whats the deal there...

Quality on mine was very nice IMO. Several of us just had a few fitment problems.

after we removed the foam and wind deflectors from behind the bumper, took us about 20 min to install the fascia. Let the proffesionals handle it, they know what they are doing.

My time is worth more, that's why I would have to agree with adidas on this one!

I had 0 fitment issues, trust me its all in your know how of cars. The mold is set. Its not going anywhere. My fascia that come out is exactly like everyone elses. If you dont trust yourself doing it, give it to a professional body shop!
