So I briefly talked to Kyle (from Stillen) today, he let me know that he is having troubles signing onto NICO since the change and asked if I'd tell you guys about the Fascia problem.

They are doing their research and trying to locate the problem on why the Fascia is sagging. Hopefully he is able to get on here soon and can tell you guys in detail about the progress of fixing this situation.

It looks like there might be a fix coming if they can figure pinpoint the cause of the sag.
He is having some troubles signing in here but if you have any immediate questions I'm sure he'd be more than happy discussing them over email. I'll try and keep in touch with him in the meantime to let you guys know what's going on.

The problem isn't hard to pinpoint. Urethane isn't as rigid as fiberglass. It needs to be supported at all points or it will sag.

Here is my prediction...

They are going to offer a sturdier version of the factory metal "brace."

It will probably cost money.

Just do this:

that doesnt fix everything. just the center sag. there is still a sag under the drivers headlight and to the side of it.

That's more of an imperfect mold problem I think

Ya well the meet wasn't as great as I thought it'd be. It didn't seem as there were as many cars as in 2008 (although there were a ton of cars). The "show" prices were only a couple dollars lower than normal so there was no real incentive to purchase day of. The speakers weren't loud enough to where we could hear what was going on with raffles and what not from where our cars were parked.

It was funny, when we were driving up one of the staff members almost had me park with the G37s until he realized I was in a group of Altima Coupes :chuckle:

The show was pretty fun though, and Steve Millen opening up his championship car on the dyno was pretty amazing. I wish they had a set time for the raffles though because I wouldn't even know if I won something unless I was up front the whole time.

I'm going to try and upload the dyno video tonight
