I think MaxedOut2g did that on his car. Check out his webpage.

I too plan on buying a Stillen kit real soon

maybe we could both buy from the same vendor and get a small break.

I will say this, a member(Pillager) has what I think is a similar setup to what you mentioned and it looks evil.

Rob, you never replied, but it looks like you are leaning toward the Aero kit. What is your time frame to purchase? if you can be ready to purchase in the next month or two I think we should buy directly from Stillen. Maybe Irvine or Kev could give us a good contact to get the best price, it looks like the complete kit will be around $700.

Hey Rob if you are definitely going with another body kit I am interested in your AE kit. I have super black paint so I'd have to get it painted. No problem for me. Let me know if you want to sell it and for how much.

Just e-mail me at foodmanry@hotmail.com

Thanks,
Ryan

cheap stuff?...so the ninj akit is fiberglass which means its made very cheaply?..ALSO....does fiberglass look different from poly after its painted?.....if so then it would stand out...

Both kits will look the same once painted, the only diff that ur gonna see is be4 they are painted. If the front lip that u were getting was made of fiberglass then i would suggest not getting it because ir u touch anything its gonna crack unlike polyureathane which can take many blows and ull never have to worry about it. sincwe the only parts of the kit ur getting that are fiberglass is the sides u have bit less to worry about since its in a less vulnerable place then the front. so its ur call if u want the sides. i have the normal stillen aerokit and my car isnt lowered and some curbs i still have trouble with i clear most by a good 2" but once the car is dropped (which it will be in a few months sittin on 19's ) im gonna have a bit more trouble clearing the curbs its gonna be paper thin. i already talked to Maxedout2g about the clearance issues and its all good just needs a bit more caution from the dirver. btw sorry about the long post.

Give it a shot, it might turn out to look really sweet. if u dont like it u can always sell it and get the reg stillen side skirts. ull be the first to try it though. if Maxedout2G's car looks good with the touring front im sure the reg kit will look straight with it as well. as u know its ur all u got my .02 on it.
