So i bought the 3 piece lower grille thinking it was just the bottom half of the fascia without the butt ugly grille (as the picture would suggest) and the box came today and i find 3 flimsy pieces of mesh plastic wrapped to a piece of cardboard.

Here's the picture of what I ordered:

Here's what I got:

First pic no work...

What did you plan on doing with only the bottom half of the fascia anyway?

swap out the bottom half of the stillen fascia with the stock one and keep the honeycomb grille. Here's that pic again:

Go outside and look at your bumper. Then come back inside and post up in here.

Not trying to be a d!ck, just go do it.

Thier is no way your going to be able to fit the bottom piece of tje stillen fascia on the stock bumper unless you mold them together which would be a waste of money in my opinion.

Please do.

Regardless, Im sure Stillen will take back the mesh if you dont want it. Contact Kyle or Blake (I cant remember which one is our rep) and they will help you out.

yup, they should be more specific about this item. I was going to buy it, but I luckily I sent them an email asking them about it before I clicked the "buy" button.

My apologies for making this thread in the heat of the moment, i went and looked at my car (i've been sick the last couple of days so no driving) and what i thought was where my bumper split in two pieces right around the height of the shading on the picture from stillen closest to the wheel well doesn't go all the way across. Not going to take back what i said about stillen's photos and marketing for that item being misleading, but at the end of the day it's my own stupidity for not double and triple checking the part. Please don't troll me like you troll 350d/$4 granD rims.

I'm most likely going to do something along those lines now, but I figured if I could save $500 and just get the bottom half (if there was such a thing), I'd do that.

To get the effect he was going for he would literally have to saw his bumper in half and then Frankenstein the new bottom half on. If Stillen cant get the fitment right, I doubt he would be able to. Not saying its impossible, just wont be quite as easy as yours (not even saying yours was easy, because Im sure it wasnt).

Putting the mesh into the bottom opening might look nice, you would need to cut out the bars that go across for it to look right though IMO.
