A cry for help! I installed the Stillen fascia to find that I have a horrible sag on the grill as seen below. I did install the factory metal bracket and that did not help at all. I took a look at the factory grill and there is a part of the bumper that works as a support for the grill. Am I supposed to use that piece? Maybe Stillen can shine a light on this being that I have seen others on here like this. I love the looks of the fascia but I just can't help but to notice the sag every time I look at the front of the car.

Do you mean that big gap between the hood and the fascia/grill. I think you can adjust the high of the hood. There are these two thinks you twist to adjust the height. There is a tech page about it.

I think what he is talking about is the four elements of the grille. The top one doesn't follow the hood line perfectly and "droops" a bit in the middle. The two center bars don't seem to be spaced equally and that adds to the "drooping" look.

I apologize to Tomce if that is not what he is referring to, but it has been my impression for some time now.

And adjusting the hood won't solve it.

maybe its just me, but I dont think that there is that much sag. I mean there is a little, but all in all I think it looks better than most peoples' who complain about "horrible sag"

I see what you are talking about. maybe try posting a strait-on shot for better judgement

dont worry, it can be fixed

If it is the sag in the grill you are talking about, dont worry about it. I didnt even notice it until it was pointed out.

You are correct Ferguson. There has to be an easy solution to this. Stillen car does not do this. The Stillen grill follows the lines on the hood great.
