[LegendRacer]

50$ group buy sounds nice

50 plus shipping...

im sure if we can get 40+ people to buy it, they will do 50 plus shipping...to canada too! its not fair for canadians lol

[adidas2go]

Got some day time pics

[johnny_d]

i see you've washed the car Nissan should have included them on the car, even a 4 cylinder Camry has dampers

[spike228]

Yeah for real....when I opened my hood of my gf's camry, I was almost killed by the sudden lift that the dampers made. Wasn't expecting that one....

[LegendRacer]

mostly lower end hondas dont have dampers... kinda sad that the coupe doesnt have any... it makes a whole difference if your poping ur hood, it feels more luxurious or "newer" feel

[niztec]

I still can't justify spending 75 or 100 dollars on something that holds a hood open. I'm sry guys..

haha i feel ya on that man. especially if its over 100 bucks, i cant see myself buying those. i much rather spend it on some fake HIDs or something

There are many cars that don't have factory hood dampers...

[BlackNWhite]

Damn, now that I think about it... my '90 Maxima had hood dampners. On level ground... they held up the hood... but if I had it parked on any incline... it would hold up for about 5 minutes or so and SLAM... right on your head.

well i paid 40grand for my coupe... canadian

and most cars around the same price has the hood dampers

[Voodoo Coupe]

Id definatly be in on a group buy for these too LOL and did I read something mentioned about a 2.5 turbo kit for the cvt?

[windhaven]

Despite the relative mediocrity of a mod like this (IMHO), the fact is, that when I owned my Maxima (and frankly most of my vehicles) I got spoiled by this feature. The self managed hood is a small, but useful feature for me.

I guess that means i'm in for a group buy if it comes around. Sheesh, you people keep finding ways to spend my money ......

*chime*I think that a $49.99 plus the stillen $9.95 shipping would be the fair price to beat. IMHO i think it would be to their advantage to put some vinyl on it.. it would make it look nicer and advertise... but it would probably slow production... You can get custom vinyl cut online for cheap..

[mcheddadi]

I'm in for group buy for 50$

[Team STILLEN]

Guys.. I don't even know the cost of the final production items yet.. and would hate to disappoint you all..

Give us a chance to at least get the cost/pricing out.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Yeah.. but we need to get excited for another part! Speculation is awesome!

[desertdragon]

Count me in with the Group buy.

[Oside3.5]

Hey Josh Are there any different finishes planned in the future for these (i.e Stainless steel, Carbon Fiber, or painted)?

[adidas2go]

They already are painted black

[Oside3.5]

They already are painted black

[Team STILLEN]

The brackets are zinc coated to prevent against rust, but no current plans on doing additional colors, etc. These are easily coated if you wanted to do something custom, should be able to find a powder coater.

You could even try hydrographics if you wanted something really crazy, such as carbon fiber or brushed aluminum.. or pink camo.. places like Phoenix Imaging can coat a ton of different types of items, from every interior piece to engine covers.. http://www.phoenix-image.com/

so stillen is working on a turbo kit for CVT? and CVT can hold 380 hp? is there anyway to some how strengthen the CVT? in another post tammer was talking about something and the cobalt SS guy said ya they use that in regular auto to strengthen the transmission too. so maybe there is hope for us CVT guys after all lol

[Team STILLEN]

Yes, we will have more details soon.

[johnny_d]

Josh, that is for the 2.5 isn't it? If u plan to do Supercharged or Turbo for 3.5CVT, please use my car

[kyle@stillen]

Hey guys,

We definitely plan on doing ALOT MORE to the Altima Coupes. Forced induction has been discussed and we are simply trying to come up with the best system for the Altima's. Both 2.5 and 3.5 are on the R&D list but that's not to say that they will get similar kits. We have already begun building the turbo kit for the 2.5 but we still aren't sure if we want to turbo the 3.5...It might get a supercharger of some sort.

We will update you with more information as soon as we get it.

We have talked with the Nissan engineers and have found that the CVT transmission can handle LOTS of power.

[johnny_d]

great news! I prefer supercharger aniway

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Haha adidas has a hold on the R&D game!

hopefully they come out this week too parents are out of town.. for the next 2 weeks so i can get the springs and the dampers installed at the same time haha!

[AltiCoupeDriver]

LOL, my parents have been blocking all my mod requests. Especially the exhaust I already saved up for, which I could get a great price on. All I get is 'No way, it will be too loud, and attract too much attention."
