Front Bumper Styling

I've made the decision to get a aftermarkert lip piece to add to my front bumper. Kind of like what shavedmax has. I am looking for something at flows decently with the stock lines but gives the front end a beefier look and has pods for fog lights.

Anyone care to give me some info on companies who make one or possibly pics and/or links?

Also what are these normally made out of? Urethane, abs plastic, fiberglass? I'd like to mold it to my stock bumper.

A Stillen lip will give you ALL of that. Plus, it's made of urethane - which virtually eliminates cracking.

I got some quotes today on front pieces

Xenon (I think that was the company) fiberglass valence for the front bumper... $625 cdn, hilarious and no

Stillen valence, urthethane, $350 cdn acceptable but still much more than I want to spend. hmmm what are the chances of me finding a used one? How much are stock SE fog lights with wiring?


My rear bumper is about 80% done now, I just need to finish the smoothing then prime it and build a new foam piece to go behind it. I'm pulling an all nighter on saturday trying to finish it.

um mine is a stillen lip like evryone else's. it's 500 or less for the full kit us bucks of course. stock fogs are an arm and a leg new, finding used ones is tough, just try to find similar a/m ones. nice work on the rear bumper. can i suggest you cover it/ mold it out of fiberglass. urethane once cut is gonna be tough to mold back together without it cracking in the future. trunk looks great too. get some more pics up
