ok so i got mine today and i cut off the 2 bars in the middle lol to make it look like the stillen front fascia on the sedan. took some time and effort, took off the stock one, put on the stillen one, took it off, cut off the bars, put it back on, took it back off, put the stock one back on. well at least now i can take off the front fascia in no time with ease lol bad news is that when i cut the bars off, theres a couple holes on the side (hard to explain). ill probably post some pics of that tomorrow or something, the bumper is at my friend's house (my dad still doesn't know i got the stillen one, still doesn't even know about my exhaust lol). well heres a pic of it on my car with the bars cut off. can't wait to get it painted and installed but that wont be for a while cuz im trying to get in on the intake group buy.

oh ya! for those of you who have the stillen front fascia, how much did it cost to get painted? mine will probably cost more cuz i need the sides of the grill filled in or something, but at least so i can get a ballpark estimate of how much it will cost me.

lol i never liked the stillen fascia, something always looked a little off to me. then when i saw the grill on the sedan i knew thats what i didn't like about it. Stillen said that was the mold and the bars would be there. blake suggested that you could always just cut the bars.... he's planning on doing it too. sooo ya lol
