What I like about the Stillen is that if follows the fender flares all the way, blending better with the original design. If you drop this one a little lower, you could plow snow.

 

Agreed. I like Stillen better because the sides of the center grill opening follow the crease lines of the inboard side of the headlight clusters.

 

A cleaner look......

 

...and no bulge.

 

Somewhat similar design....

 

I like the photoshops done to simulate no splitter & a stock hood.......deffinately better everytime I see it! Now photoshop that car black, lol! Deffinately the best front bumper for those not wanting to go with aftermarket sides/rear. That bumper & the v1 sidewings would be sharp!

If I Knew how to change it to black, I'd do it in PPW!!!

 

I received the nose today. Now that I can directly compare it with original, it appears to be about 2 inches longer. At first glance, quality appears to be excellent. However, Stillen shipped this thing to me via UPS wrapped only in plastic....no box, no support, no padding, no nuthin'. This is the first body mod I've ever purchased......is this typical? I know it's eurothane and pretty durable, but it sure could have easily been damaged had UPS been so inclined. I was shocked to find this very flexible piece leaning against my garage, out in the hot sun (107 degrees), when I got home.

 

Thats a fine way to ship urethane, its pretty strong. I'd reccommend letting it sit flat in the garage untill you put it on.
Don't just paint it. Prime it first, it will come out much nicer.
Congrats on a nice mod.

 

Here it is.....

 

Unfortunately, Stillen sent me a piece that has been sanded for some reason, destroying the hard edge along the crease. It been rounded and flattened. Not cool.......I'm waiting for customer service to call me back.

 

how much is that bumper? I'd like to get it if I could find a lip that would mold to it nice. I don't like the splitter all that much.

 

are the holes in it for mounting or is it not predrilled? if you could possibly snap a pic of the bottom so we can get a better view of the shape w/o the splitter it would be greatly appreciated!

i didnt realize how the reflectors were moved back towards the fender lip & then pointed forward instead of to the side......looks nice!

WOW. When I first saw the pics of that front end, I was thinking it was the LAST thing I'd EVER put on my Z!

As soon as people started putting pics of it installed...street shots...I fell in love! It looks REALLY good. I'm amazed.

 

it reaklly is amaizing because i have seen pics numerous times for quite some time now of those stillen pics(3 cluster shots)...but i wasnt impressed by those pics. not after other shots prodeuced of full lenghth pics & different angles it shows a real life image that put it in a whole new persepective........it makes me want to redesign the thought of the body enhancements i had planned........

To Stillen's credit, they picked up the defective piece and they're shipping me another one.

 

The holes are marked, but not predrilled. When I get the new piece, I'll shoot more photos of the bottom.

 

thanx! glad stillen got your front bumper taken care of!
