Just rang Stillen and got a few nifty pieces of info (may be just rumors but seems pretty legit to me)-- some info may be repost but for sake of consolidation...

The Altima Coupe Stillen Front Fascia will continue to be as is. Stillen states that this is a top notch look and does not want to create inserts etc.

The Altima Sedan Stillen Front Fascia is in the works! It will come with an (optional?) insert for the grill (sounded potentially like mesh).

Not much was said about a replacement for the OEM grill on the AC or AS. I did ask, but they either may have not heard my inquiry to the subject or simply wanted to avoid the question.

They also did confirm 2.5ers will be seeing Turbo and whatnot soon like we've heard.

That's all for now. Hope some of the fascia info clears stuff up for some...

to add:

The sedan front fascia should be done in a matter of weeks.

The OEM grill replacement will be the mesh look in the poll

I need me a picture of this new grille replacement before I decide to purchase that, the stillen lip, or the stillen fascia.

I don't want to purchase anything until I see what the grille replacement looks like.

Why am i the only one whos reading there IS NO replacement grill for the coupe? The sedan and coupe use different sized grills if im not mistaken and are not interchangeable. Where are you guys getting a AC grill replacement from? I'm reading interchangeable grill insert for the sedan fascia.

Where are you reading that there is no replacement grille for the coupe?

To elaborate on my first post:The already released Stillen Front Fascia for the Coupe is a full one-piece urethane replacement for the bumper AND grille and therefore will NOT have an interchangeable grille due to the urethane being one piece.

The soon to be released (matter of weeks now according to adidas) Stillen Front Fascia for the Sedan (I heard over the phone) is a two-piece type urethane replacement for the bumper AND grille and since it is two piece will most likely have an interchangeable grille (mesh prolly).

Stillen is also working on a stand-alone separate grille which would be a replacement for the OEM Coupe grille. This will be similar the mesh grille that was pictured on a bunch of posts here on the forums...

Hope that clears things up and again, this was all gathered from a 15 minute phone convo with one of the reps there at Stillen.

The fascia for the coupe IS a two piece, and yes the grille is integral to the top piece. I'd imagine the fascia for the sedan will be the same.
