Stillen front plate bracket issues
I have been getting a lot of order for the Stillen plate brackets and we have been having fitment issues with these and the new model Z's and G's. Im posting this info for you guys so that you guys know whats going on and why you cant order it through our website as of yet. The 2003 - 2/2004 production date 350Z's have 16mm by 5/8, dime sized bolts which comes with the Stillen bracket, part number 105350 which is compatible, no problems. 2/04 and to 05 production date 350Z's use a 22mm by 7/8 quarter sized bolts which what the issues were. Stillen had given us a new part number 105355 for the 04 and up brackets and to what we were told, it was compatible. Well we sold a bunch of 105355 and all of them came back due to the bolts not fitting. Stillen is fixing this issue at the moment and theyre going to release a new kit for the 04 and up model Z's and G's. So those of you guys with the 04+ Z's and G's that have no front plate fix it tickets, keep your pants on cause the Stillen plate brackets are coming.

I took my kit to a machine shop and they took the end of the factory tow hook and fashioned it on to the Stillen shaft. Cost me $40, but it works great..
Obviously it would have been better if they had fixed this for the new model. But I ordered it without knowing and wanted a solution.
