oh hell no... why didn't you show us this sooner!?!!

THATS PERFECT I WANT MY CAR TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT. cept with stock wheels cause im whack.

[{WBK}Viper]

Stillen!! More agressive. Fits the lines better. IMO

[phobs]

it's a close game!

[maxentropy]

nope, but did you realize that you have the same wheels, same drop, and soon if not already same bodykit as blake. you must really like his car.

Actually yes, I love Blake's car. Hence why I went with the same options he did. The body kit was a no brainer for me since everything else looks horrid IMHO, but the wheels I simply fell in love with since I saw them on his Coupe.

However, my wheel offsets are more aggressive than his, and I have a rear spoiler. Our cars do differ a tad bit.

Besides, he represents dark slates on the West Coast and I represent the East Coast.

see this is why i dont like stillens products look at the gap between the hood and the front grill. its about 3-4 times bigger than stock...just a poorly made product

Thats the installers fault, not stillens. he probably didnt do the support brackets right.

YESS...i know i was suppose to pay the guy $300 for paint and install but he said thats the best he could do and there is gap between the bumper and the headlight on the drivers side which drives me insane...so i ended up only giving him 50 bucks for paint and install because i was like WTF... but im thinking to either get side skirts and get it fixed up or just get the unpainted black area painted black through this 1 guy and have him install it rite

I must say it's weird seeing that its a common problem. Bad instructions? Bad installers? Stillen's quality? or am I wrong?

Off topic: For those who are interested in the ED side skirts. I will put up some nice pictures of the side skirts painted and installed early next month.

if you want that gap closed, i have just the guy/shop for you. of course it will cost you more money, but the shop is awesome and does awesome work. lemme know

how could that possibly be? every coupe with that noise pice looks like that....every installer cant be at fault......please dont make me get every pic on the site and draw the gap space out on here please i dont have that kind of time. Therefore the fault must lay with the manufacturer, dont get me wrong i like the style of it but there is a major design defect with the piece. I know if i had that piece and installed it or had it installed and exhausted every option possible i would be asking for a refund and if that was not a option i would be calling my bank to reverse the charge for not getting what was advertised.

I had the same concerns before. I loved the look but not the sag. Well, folks have fixed the issue by using the old OEM support brace. So, I bought the Stillen Fascia and had my installers do the same. I have never had sag. Anyway, here's pictures from the meet in Atlantic City a month or two ago.





As you can see, no sag. And IMHO-- it looks awesome.

I can't help but agree. It should be so easy that every installer can'thelp but get it right. I know there's like two or three of you with the fascia that got the gap closed, but most said it took a little coaxing andinginuity. Almost everyone's I've seen...SAGS. Even ones with the stock bracket. This is one of the reasons I didn't get the fascia...I wantedone, but was a bit worried and didn't want to go to the trouble to getit right.

However...I think people here know what they are getting into with it.It is possible to get it right....so if you're on this forum and you stillget one....No complaining.

DAMN MCHEDDADI...u spoiled me. i just saw the ED side skirts on the black coupe from SEMA....they are PERFECT ....i am totally considering saving up a lil extra and getting those...thanks alot for the feed man.

Yeah the sag is annoying, but it's not that bad.

I didn't want to shove pieced of the old foam support inside, so I drilled new holes into the stock metal support bar that runs along the top of the fascia. That gave it a little bit of lift and more support, but there's still a gap.

You can see the gap in my sig...

I might give the "shove foam in bumper" method a shot this winter.

[djnastie]

is it me or do our a/c's have the sexiest lines ever! especially with the stillen facia? idk i was planning on getting just the splitter. but now after seeing the whole fascia on a radiant silver coupe idk... someone help me what do you guys thing splitter or fascia? ahhh!

[pakicoupe]

Just save up and get the stillen fascia

[djnastie]

i dont know tho the splitter looks really functional and i have the unpainted rear lip on the back. and the stock front bumper looks pretty nice when u cut off the lower grille like i did.

[imdavit]

honestly im not a big fan of the stock bumper... not at all.. imho it doesnt suit our rears.

but im thinking now should i get a cat back or the fascia. decisions decisions...

both cost around the same no?
