i have a 92SE, and I'm gonna get the stillen body kit for my car. I wanna know exactly what pieces the kit comes with. I know it comes with the rear valence and the driver side and passenger side rockers. But does it also come with a new front bumper, or is it an addition to existing stock bumper. I need to know, thanks.

 

Front is an add on lip, not a replacement for the bumber. I'm guessing your front bumber is all messed up and you were hoping that the front portion was a full replacement?

 

you got it my friend, right on!

 

Heh... what about their Rocker panels? are they just add-ons? or replacements?

 

still add on. nothing gets pulled off.

 

it's a peel and stick body kit...

 

ON ebay right there are 2 front bumpers for a 3rd gen maxima for like 60$ buy it now. I got the Stillen lip btw, and it looks pretty good imo

 

Are the Rocker panels on these maxima's replaceable or do i have to accually Cut it off and weld new Metal?

 

By rocker panel I assume you mean side skirts, because thats what the stillen kit comes with. No there is no welding, or cutting or fabbing of any sort, except drilling holes and sticking wood screws in the afore mentioned holes.

 

is the kit sturdy and strong, or is it foamy like the spoiler

 

it's pretty the same as the stock bumper.

 

It will flex when it needs too. Its not like some cars you see going up the high ways with the urethane kits that are flapping in the wind

 

I have a full kit FS...PM me if interested.

 

Where? I can't find them anywhere?

 

Here ya go

That's not a front lip? Thats just an OEM replacement front bumper?

 

you are correct

 

duh thats what he said...

 

But, who needs an OEM front bumper? Where did that come from? I thought that this was for the Stillen body kit and whatnot, not the OEM replacement?

 

Read the whole thread. The original poster asked if the front lip was a bumper replacement or just an add on. Then Jeff said "I'm guessing your front bumber is all messed up and you were hoping that the front portion was a full replacement?"

The original poster replied back and said "you got it my friend, right on!". This means the guy needs a new front bumper and the other guy was helping him out and telling him where some were.

You gotta read man.

 

Damn man, sorry. I was just under the influence that this was a Stillen body kit thread? He made it sound like that there were 2 Stillen front lips for sale on Ebay?

 

Miss cleo

 

lol I wasnt jumping on you or anything I was just giving you a hard time. I didnt get what you read into it but can understand how you might misunderstand the post if you just skim over it like most people do. I misunderstand posts all the time .

 

This was probably the cause.

 

lol My bad, I kinda over-reacted. Oh well, it's all good. And no, I wasn't "under the influence" even though I said that. lol. I was actually in school when I relplied to that, so I was not drunk!

 

the kit is $500. How much you think painting and installation would be?

 

you can install it yourself...its not hard.

Paint will vary from place to place so you just need to get an estimate. Figure about $200 but it could be less or even more depending if they actually try to color match it or just paint it by the code.

 

Just a quick question while we are on the topic of the kit, i just picked one up myself, i had some questions on how to install it? any quick tips or link pointing would be great thanx!

 

lets see...

get the good 3M tape...not the cheaper stuff they sell at Wal Mart etc. A paint and body supply shop should have it.

get some wax/grease remover and clean the kit edges where you will put the tape and then instll the tape.

leave kit in sun for a little while.

clean the body line with the wax/grease remover where the tape is going to be.

when using the wax/grease remover be sure to read the directions. Be sure to wipe off the solvent before it dries or you will just let the contaminants settle back down on the paint.

put the kit up to the body and bend and form it to match the body and get it held in place with clamps and blocks etc.

drill a couple of holes in the fender well for the corner of each kit, drill a couple of holes in the rear behind the license plate for the back piece and a couple of holes in the front corner (behind the fog lights or fog light holes if you dont have fog lights) for the front piece.

Now start to undo the tape but dont undo the whole thing...just pull enough up to get you started. press the kit down in that area and peal the tape as you go and press down the kit along the way.

Then put some pop rivets or stainless screws in the corners, rear and front then you are done.

This is not an exact or maybe not even the best way but its the way I did it.

Also have a heat gun ready to help form the kit...leaving it in the sun should make it easy enough to form it but its always good to have extra help. A hair dryer will not work.

 

damn $200 is cheeeeep!

 

Yeah that was a really low estimate wasnt it...good paint will cost that or more.

I am sure there are some cut rate places that will do it for that though.
