so i've been inactive for a minute now.. recently got into a fender bender sad to say :facepalm: ended up snapping my front passenger bc coil FML.. scuffed up my stillen bumper slightly but nothing a paint job wont fix. ended up finding the ED front fascia n bout it jus for s*** n giggles.. Wanted to know which one you guys thought looked better.. Everyone has the stillen fascia so i was thinking to do something a lil different... Mind you the ED BUMPER isnt the same color at the moment..

Ive always preferred the ED fascia over the Stillen. Not quite sure why, something about the sideways bars in the Stillen not doing it for me I think.

:werd: and you can drop a c-mod grille in the ED one more and better option than just having the trippy bar grille

ED for sure. I never liked the look of the Stillen. It looks dated.

I voted for the Stillen fascia. I don't care much for the Stillen grille, but the grille opening is easier on the eye. The ED fascia retains the stock grille, which is :gapteeth: There's no pleasin!

By the way, what kind of eyelids are those in the top pic? Are those custom?

I prefer the Stillen Fascia, and in my opinion the Stillen grille looks AWESOME!

I like the styling of the lower half of the Stillen better, but I have to admit, there's a lot to the argument about the ability to change the grille. I changed my vote from Stillen to ED.

I like the ED with the OEM bumper. Depending on car color and color theme, leave chrome, paint chrome, paint honeycomb, replace with C-Mod, replace with custom fglass, etc. etc. etc.

Hussain, that is one sexy fascia. Props to the grille mod. I was thinking of your ride when making my post above.

The only bad thing I've heard about Stillen's fascia is its tendency to sag like a granny in a sauna. Does the ED fascia have the same problem?

Yeah Hussain def did it right.

Supposedly Stillen fixed all the sagging issues, look for a thread from SRWong. She actually went to Stillen and they acknowledged that there were in fact issues and were supposed to fix them.

I still say ED though!

As much as I love Hussain's bumper (and I was thinking of him, too, when I wrote), I gotta say that sounds like a lot of extra hassle.

If you know a shop that will give you a really good price, its not bad. But if your shop is more on the expensive side, it'll be a lot more. after cutting the bars, theirs 2 or 3 big holes on each side. so a shop needs to patch those and then prep and paint the bumper. It cost me $160 for everything but some people were saying they paid like $350 just for prep and paint.

...yeah, I think I'd go with ED and CMod. Yours inevitably will look better, but I'm not going to drop the extra cash for a purely cosmetic change.
