Congrads on the skirts. But isn't your car leased? How are you going about sponsoring and outfitting a leased car? Aren't you losing money??...

I like the skirts, but IMO although the quality of the fascia is excellent, no doubt, I think Stillen could've have done a better job in terms of the middle section, kinda like what the GT-R has....I know there some similarities but I think it just looks like a big hole waiting to gobble anything up, lol, but hey thats my POV. Also, why I liked foxmarketing's fascia is because it retained the factory grill, and the moustaches can just be re-painted body color....I think something that retains as much OEM parts without completely outfitting the car with aftermarket parts gets a big thumb up from me, because no matter what I believe nothing fits like factory parts...so it just gives it a nice clean look without any un-neccessary gaps and makes ppl question "hey is that factory or aftermarket?" hehe...

In anycase, I'm really really glad Stillen jumped on the A/C and released so many items so quickly under a year....I look forward to alot of great things coming from them, and for me Stillen's Performance parts are more appealing to me than their body components.....this is wishful thinking, but I think it would be so cool so have a supercharger....just love the sound of that over the turbo, its instant power! But maybe JUST maybe it'll happen!

the top rock guard stays. the bottom rock gaurd will be removed with the new rockers

Hey Adidas, were you the one that had a hole on the black plastic guard under the wheel well (after a hard drive through the mountains)?How did you fix that finally? I remember you saying you will simulate the hole as a vent. How did that go?

Sorry for the thread jack.

Looking for that factory fitment eigh? What about the rattles, recalls and everything else! Stillen spent more time and labor producing the part than nissan did.. and its higher quality... i understand your feeling though..

[maxentropy]

Loving the look. Only thing surpressing my urge to get the front fascia is that large gap between the hood + fascia...

After seeing your dark slate I kinda want to get me a set of them Konig Troubles too

[ADKSaad1387]

hey adidas, tell them to start making things for us sedan guys as well!

[cuzzbubba420]

We're starting to feel a bit lonely!

[Team STILLEN]

You just did!

We have a sedan in the facility today, first stop is the modeling shop (after a check on the dampers)..

I don't think the rockers are as good a fit overall as the front fascia.

The reason is that the stock Nissan rocker panel has what looks to be an inch or more "cut out" for the door area. So the Stillen rocker panels "bumps" out all but the door area leaving the door area untouched and sunkin in. The only way around that would be to either included pieces for the bottom of the doors to make things flush - or maybe to make a rocker panel "LIP" spoiler that attaches toward the bottom of the stock rocker panel.

It's funny dat u said dat longbeach, because i was thinking the same thing when i was writing my message lol. While I don't question the quality of the work the went into making the Stillen fascia, i really believe they could've done a better job with the middle area, the gap looks too big and empty.

Im buying out my lease

Yea the STILLEN fascia definatly fits like OEM. I dont have a single point where the fascia and fenders meet that isn't spot on. So if your looking for OEM fitment, a flexible uretane kit is going to be your best bet over an immalleable fiberglass kit.

acutally I never touched it. you cant notice unless your face is on the rim haha.

don't do it

[bembol]

I love it but I would lose the STILLEN. It ruins it.

Is your 3.5SE completely de-badged? If not, you should.

[mcheddadi]

He's sponsored now, He can't really lose it lool

[bembol]

[adidas2go]

Thanks for the compliment none the less! Its part of my deal with STILLEN though. I like the STILLEN logo. To me it gives the car a more prominent stance and livens up the upper half of the car. All the excitement is around the body work and rims. So this evens it up a bit

[Robs_altima]

Love the kit and theme you have going on

[desertdragon]

I wonder how the rockers will look with the OEM bumper. I have no plans to go with the Stillen Facia.

MC, can you please photoshop the stillen rocker on a car with OEM bumper?Thank you in advance.

[adidas2go]

i think he will need a picutre that isnt blurred

[desertdragon]

UUpps...OK, how about this one?

[mcheddadi]

[desertdragon]

Thank you very much MC!

Looking at the picture, I am not feeling the rockers with the OEM bumper, maybe I will need to add the front lip. On well...

[LongBeachCoupe]

MC does it again! I like the look of them.. but idk... its too much IMHO... btwn the part cost and paint... i guess im spoiled bc i get free installs on everything... but the shipping from CA is bonkers on big parts like that. If only that original email from margaret was on point! hhehe

[johnny_d]

mcheddadi, can you give a quick tutorial how to change color? I have PS and wanna play around with different paint colors .......thnx

[alphapig]

I have a quick question for you guys that have gotten the front fascia...

Should the bumper be installed on first, and then taken to the paint shop, or should the shop do everything at once?

Any input would be appreciated...

[08Coupe]

I think that with the stillen front lip spoiler and a better front grill would be awesome!

[adidas2go]

take off your stock bumper and do whats called a "test fit" with the top part of the fascia.Make sure all the moldings match up. Then have them paint it

I'm assuming that would be at the shop cite?

I was thinking of slapping the bumper on (both pieces) and then driving to the place, at which point they paint it. Or is that a bad idea?

[adidas2go]

You have to drill and bolt the 2 halfs of the fascia together. I would do it at the body shop. That wayyou can test fit it, and put your original back on right there.
