I know alot of people want it and are willing to pay for it. So why stop making it like they did? Cant they just start it back up if they have the demand. Like a petition ...lol

Wayne- Stillen's mold got destroyed in a fire which is why they stopped making it. It also had fitment issues so I think that is why they never made it again. That Ionic wing looks horrible without the outter supports IMO.

that doesn't even make sense. when the car in production there were 2 body kits, the car is out of production and there are about 6 now.

look at all the new cars out there, g35, 350z, etc.. there isn't much aftermarket but in 2 years or so there will be a ton.

There is major demand I think alot of us and outsiders would like to get one. I dont even have a 4th gen yet but I will next year. Id be willing to buy one. How come someone cant just take their wing off and make a new casting and mold and make new ones. Maybe correct some things and change some stuff so its a new molding. IE fitting corrections and maybe a mild mild mild slight change so a company can call it their own and not a stillen copy.

Sounds easy, but that all takes a lot of $$$

Dies are rediculously expensive

Well if made and advertised it would be something nice to make. It may not be extremely high but the demand is there. If you build it they will come.

I think some didn't line up correctly with the stock holes but I'm not sure. The wing is made out of fiberglass and you know how fiberglass is with fitment. My type 2 fit perfect though, I guess I was lucky.

Thanks Tony, yeah fiberglass can be a PITA sometimes.

Has anyone thought of that thing i mentioned in another thread? I mean adding risers to the stock spoiler to make it sit higher. Like the ones for the WRX.

Sweet, My GXE has been needing a spoiler for quite a while now, assuming the price isnt astronomical, I'll definatly buy one.

I thought about that a long time ago and was going to look into it, but then I found a Type 2 and bought it. Now I don't really have any use for the risers. However, there's gotta be a way to make them or have them made similar to the WRX's to raise the stock spoiler.

I'll buy one of these new spoilers. If it looks like the type II stillen spoiler without the fitment problems then I'm in for sure. Keep me posted MaxMoJo. Thanx
