Just curious...why?
Sorry about the delay,
Stillen urethane lips come with a factory lifetime warranty. I have one in my possesion but its cracked, since it wasnt originally purchased from stillen they will not honor the warranty. Looking for someone who wants to make a few bucks on the side and let me use their name in order to get a warranty replacement.

Ok , here is your new screen name . Replace old one with this to get more replies, ready? New name: CERTIFIED CROOK!
People like you make manufactures create huge markup on products , so they can cover for activities like yours. Kindly do not scare away the few manufactures that support the "NISSAN MAXIMA". Note : I am not for Stillen high prices , but I am not a supporter of Illegal Activities either. Yours is clearly obvious.
Stillen offers a lifetime warranty on the lip, it shouldnt matter where i bought it from, its their lip so it should be covered. However stillen will only honor the warranty of a buyer who purchased it directly from them, WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? its their lip and they should stand behind their product no matter who it was purchased from because they manufactured it. I called them, and told them that the lip hit some ice and cracked, which is what happend, they are willing to replace it but only for a person that bought it from them. I honestly dont think thats fair because the lip was manufactured by them, then they should stand up for their products. I dont feel that im a crook, i just want whats promised to me from Stillen as opposed to purchased another, cheaper brand that makes the same replica lips. You guys must see it from my prospective as well, after all i am not a major dealer/manufacturer like stillen is and a new lip is much more costly to me then it is to them, especially when it is supposed to be under "lifetime" warranty.

Wow, you don't have to be that harsh with Certified Beast... i mean sh*t happens... and it is a Stillen part after all isn't it? so at one point in time Stillen did make their money for the part that was sold... i agree that perhaps Certied Beast didn't go about obtaining the warranty properly... but no need to roast her over it. (pretty sure she's a girl... but could be wrong.)
I think that if anyone is the crook, its Stillen because if they do no wish to extend their "lifetime" warranty to second hand buyers, then they should note that its only for the original purchasers, they shouldnt inform you of this when your knee high in **** cause snow covered ice cracked your lip, which by the way according to stillen is urethane and is "bendable" which they say shouldnt even crack in the first place, which is why they were willing to exchange it all until the part when they realized i wasnt an original purchasee. Oh well, i guess its another marketing scheme or as some call A LIE.
Axis, im not a girl, i know those dumbass pictures of my gf, that she decided to put up, confuse everyone but she does come on the forums and post sometimes using my user id. So sometimes its her and sometimes its me.

Also, people buy stillen because its a brand name and they know it has good resale value, im sure if this was publically known and mentioned that warranty does not apply to second hand buyers than used sales of stillen products would drop in prices tremedously which in turn would have original buyers purchasing their products elsewhere or force stillen to honor its warranty for the true "lifetime" of their product
I no longer keep in contact with that person so i have no way to reach them. I feel as if its a "lifetime" warranty, no matter who send it in, with or without paper work, the warranty must be honored by them or they should change their warranty statement because no where does it say that it must be the original purchasee, all it says is LIFETIME. I guess lifetime in Stillens dictionary is until you give it to someone else. Frankly at one point or another it was purchased from Stillen and they did make their money.

K i'll try to remember that Certified Beast (bout your gf and all... lol)
As for what it's worth i agree with Certified Beast 100% as i posted before.. Stillen made their money on the part at one point in time... if it's a "lifetime" warranty then "lifetime" it is... just because it was sold since it was originally bought doesn't mean it's no longer a Stillen part..

You can get a new one for like $209!

Axis, yea gf has jealousy issues so she makes herself known absolutely everywhere which makes my life difficult. Suprisingly, even though she is a Lexus GS4 owner, she knows much about a maxima and their list of modifications, im so proud.
Certified,
I understand your situation. But when you're getting the lip at a cheaper price through a private party, its just a risk you have to take when the part goes bad.
I wish you the best man.

But stillen should still honor the warranty, like some people already said in this thread, AT ONE POINT or another it was bought from Stillen.
Good Luck.
I would help you out but I don't have a stillen kit

well that certainly changes my impression of stillen i dont think trying to get a warranty from somone else is right ( but im not in your position i might try the same thing myself:P) but...i dont agree with companys like stillen who have rigid policies....good luck dude..
I personally dont agree with companies like stillen. What happens if you own a shop and want to sell stillen parts??? Everybody gets there crap obviously through stillen. They buy bulk and get a good deal, they are entitled to sell it cheaper. Stillen doesn't lose any money on that because they sold it by bulk to the other company. That is a ****up on stillens part. Im not sure of there warranty, but if you cracked it, you cracked it bro. It wasnt stillens fault, i live in tx so im not sure about ice, but its tough shi t i imagine. In other words, I dont agree why Stillen says you have to get it through them. But I agree that they say you have to pay for it. After all you broke it. (This is pending on there warranty statement, which im not sure) the best of luck to you! 
according to Stillen this part is unbreakable because its urethane or something and i told them that I hit the ice and they said thats fine, they are willing to replace it but only for the original purchaser.

I have a question for you Certified "C". Do you think that your bumper is unbreakable ? What do you think is the composition of the materials used to make your stock bumper? Now that we are on the right track, you are not the original owner of the "Lip" , thus you have no reason to even request that Stillen honor your purchase . If you buy this Lip from a retailer , then you are entitled to your warranty. Now you did not buy from such a retailer a product listed as "unopened and new". You bought it as used from an individual . Oh ,are you aware that there are Carbon Fiber replicas of these " Stillen Lip"? Now how hard do you think that a Urethane replica is to make? Look at it from the Stillen point of view, you do not have a reciept , thus you have no claim that it was purchased from them or their retailers.
Why are you not putting heat on the original buyer, let him do the dirty work not the Org which Stillen runs Ads directly at the top of this forum!
Lets reinstate your intentions : you would like to obtain someone's information who originally purchased a Stillen Lip and request their authorization to impersonate them ,in order to justify your deception?! Now that sounds like false identity to me, which could possibly send you to "Sing-Sing". A little bird told me that Avalon Racing has a good price on these lips , suck it up and spend to Bling! Maybe then you can ask that they replace it for you every time you crack it going up McDonnals/Wendys. One more thing, "Snow" has stop falling for a while now in NYC, (" Brooklyn is not far from Queens") so tell me why did you not rant and rave since the lip broke in the "winter"
? Do you get my drift? If you still feel that you would like to continue with your Scam , then by all means don't let me stop you. I will still sleep with peace of mind that I have tried to convince you of your wrong doings.Legend: " " = Sarcasm.
If you buy a car from the dealership, most likely it will come with a warranty (some type at least).
but if u buy it from a private party, u are getting it cheaper than you would at a dealership.
same goes for your lip man. im sure u bought it cheaper than stillen has offered it at.
upside: cheaper
downside: no guarantees.
but i dont believe you're trying to deceive stillen tho.

i had the same problem w/ stillen. i had bought my front lip directly from stillen and several years later it had cracked. i had contacted stillen and had sent them pics of the cracked lip. they agreed to replace it free of charge however i needed proof of purchase directly from them. i did buy the lip directly from them however i had lost my receipt so they said i was out of luck. they could not look me up because they had upgraded their computers so they didnt have any of their old records.

Daymn .... you people are still talking about this ****? i thought this was taken care of last night....
look whats the big deal? if a product is said to have a "lifetime warranty" then it should survive that "lifetime" period. It doesn't matter if Certified Beast didn't buy the product "directly" from Stillen. It's still a Stillen piece, thus it goes under the Stillen policy correct? and so it should be treated as such.
Basically all i'm saying is, stop posting BS, Certified originally asked for someone with a Stillen front lip warranty to help him out, to spare expense. Put yourself in his shoes, if Stillen agreed to replace the part over the phone and simply asked for proof of purchase, and you didn't have proof of purchase, what would you do? spend $200+ or find a way to obtain proof of purchase and have the part replaced for free?
My Suggestion: Unless you have a warranty and you want to help out Certified Beast, don't bother posting... it'll save the org from useless BS, for no reason.
(Oh in case you're still thinking about the above... i'm pretty sure you'd try to find a warranty to use, be it someone elses or not... sure people have 200$ laying around, but who would willing spend that, while knowing that they could get away with getting the part for free / minimal expenses...)
