Anybody have a picture of 97-99 with a Stillen lip?

What I'm specifically looking for is any photo that has say a 97-99 Maxima with ONLY the front Stillen lip - no skirts and no back. I've seen this on a number of 95-96 models and wonder how it looks on the 97-99 models. If there are none, then a picture of a 97-99 Maxima with Stillen body kit will do, provided that the Maxima is NOT lowered and possibly with stock rims on.

I know it seems like much to ask for, but I want to know what my 99 SEL will look like with say a stillen lip alone or the entire stillen kit before it's lowered and before rims. The reason? - well...I want the body kit first and don't have much $$ so I will have to wait before I get rims and do the drop. THANKS MUCH!

My 99 SEL is bone stock so far and I do have mudguards. I guess it's hard to explain but everytime I look at my car from the front it seems like it's missing something...I mean, the side look fine for now and so does the rear of a stock 99 Max SEL but I feel like it's definitely missing a piece in the front; hence my curiosity with stillen lip alone. It's sort of "too skinny" in the front...u follow?

I'm very confused now. I guess the front lip alone on a 97-99 doesn't look that good judging from above...the entire kit looks awesome though. The reason I came up with this idea is because the stillen front lip for 95-96 Maximas is kind of thinner and looks better. The 97-99 lip is bigger; hence it sits lower making the car with only the lip look sort of unproportional.

Take a look at Dave B's 96 Max for instance - I think it looks BAD @SS with only the lip...perhaps even better than if he had the entire kit:

another stupid question...will a 96 stillen lip fit on a 99? Maybe with slight modification? IMO it just looks better than the 97-99 lip.

best bet is to trade a 95-96 bumper and convert to a 95-96.

there are TONS of ppl who are willing to trade you since alot of ppl want to convert theirs to a 97+ and more than happy to work with you.
