Stillen Fascia Sag Help

[JDRosenberg07]

My stillen fascia is sagging pretty bad right under the hood and I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it. I followed the installation instructions to the T but for some reason it just isn't lining up.

Anyone know how to fix it? It's been like this for a few months now and I really want to get this fixed.

Need to get another support brace. The auto body who installed mine made there own. factory support brace dont cut it.

[JDRosenberg07]

[JDRosenberg07]

Okay so its gotten worse since the install and i still have not received a response from stillen

Easy fix-- you need to lower your hood rests. You do this by simply turning the black posts clockwise to sit the hood lower. This will create a more flush hood/fascia.

Here is the how to with pics: http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=377299

As for that fender gap/popout-- I have that same issue. Some folks here fixed that. hopefully dangeris or adidas2go can pop in and recap what the fix was...

The hood stoppers are as low as they can go.. That was my first instinct when I installed it but it didn't work

and I know alphapig fixed his sag and I emailed him a few times about it but he never responded

how do i remove the support brace from my oem fascia? it looks like its connected to the bumper itself like 1 piece, did you guys cut it off? im trying to fix this today here are some pics of it

[JDRosenberg07]

As for the fender popping out, I know Blake had zip tied it to prevent it from popping out. I took a different approach and bought new fender clips (the black clips behind the facsia) What it is, is the holes on the Stillen fascia isn't clipping into the clip. I made the clip holes a little bigger by shaving off some material with a dremmel. use a utility blade if you don't have a dremmel. Once you do that you'll heare a click once you push the fascia into the clip.

can anyone who has a stillen fascia with no sag just tell me if they cut the oem support brace off or if it just came off to put into the stillen bumper thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "support brace" in question the flat piece of metal that is held on by those round clips?

[JDRosenberg07]

Thats what i thought too...

Alphapig what did you to fix yours?

I trimmed pieces of wedge shaped foam from the bumper support foam piece. Wedged those pieces under the upper part of the grille to push that part up.

[JDRosenberg07]

Okay thanks I'll probably try that... Do you have any pics of how it's set up?

so do we need to buy new clips and use a drumel? or if we just use a dremmel will the factory clips click into place?

try which ever is cheaper. If you have a dremel, enlarge the holes on the fascia a tad and see if the clips will lock into place. Use a heat gun too to kinda bend the clips down too so it grabs the fascia. That's what I did first before I I said screw it and bought new clips. FYI,.new clips for both side isn't more than $5...at least that how much it cost me.

[Hussain]

where did you get your clips from? ill try with a dremmel tomorrow or monday and if doesnt work then ill just get clips
