I am aware that the front lip of the AE (Anniversary Edition) body kit does not fit the 2k3 because of the extral "lobe" of the fogs. Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the AE kit to fit? Has anyone done this? If so can you provide some input?

 

I would like to know too. I love that kit, but was told it won't fit on my 2k3.

Can you tell me what pricing you got for it? DaveB never replyed to my e-mail.

 

didn't get one yet, but I want one.

 

well emax did it on aero kit....i think its possible. why dont ya ask him about it

e-mail or PM might get his attention faster...

 

I ordered the aero kit and will be doing the same thing to the front lip as Ethan did. I spoke with him on several occassions and he basically said that you just have to look at his pics, look at what you gotta do and you can figure it out. He did tell me that you need a dremel to cut out some pieces and one interesting thing he said was that you have to stretch the kit because the bumpers on the 2k2 model is two inches wider.

I should be getting in the kit today or Monday and once my friend starts to work on it, I will try and post pics or do a write up. It probably won't happen for at least a week or two though.

Honestly, it doesn't look that hard. Just take it to a body shop and I'm sure anyone could do it as long as they're competant.

Good luck!!

 

You are the man! Could you please keep me informed. thanks

 

Not a prob. I just remembered that someone posted a thread saying that they spoke to Stillen and Stillen said that they will be coming out with an aero kit for the 2k2-2k3 models. Don't know when though.

Just wanted to let you know. Maybe you can call Stillen and find out for yourself and let the rest of us know. If it's better looking than the one I'm gonna have, I'll buy that one later.

 

stillen said that kit was suppose to come out in 6 weeks




















in 2001 when i bought my car

 

Yeah, I think this is Stillen's normal routine.

 

yea, that was me. can someone else call Stillen and find out? i am sure if more people call and ask, they might hurry in making it...

 

we tried it some many times already

 

How much did the kit cost you?

 

Have you tryed PMing DAVEB, notice the difference in caps usage, there is also a DaveB on the board.

 

No sh^it! Did I PM the wrong one?

 

There's a GB on the parts section. I can't remember the price, but it's as good as it gets. Something like $725 shipped. It's from Southwest Autoworks.

 

The AE kit will not fit on the 2k2-2k3 because the kit is not malleable like the urethane Stillen ones. The AE kit is ABS plastic.

 

Thanks for shedding some light on this!

Now can we keep the focused on the topic, rather than making it a Stillen manufacturing question
Thanks!!

 

how did that other guy do it then??

 

Someone put an AE front lip on their 2k2-3?

 

He used a stillen kit, not AE.

 

So does anyone know how much modification needs to be done to get the AE kit to fit a 2k3?

I might have to do a trial and error!!!

 

bump

 

Well as someone above said it cant be done because the kit isnt flexible like the Stillen. If I were you I'd get the Stillen kit and make that one fit like emax95 did.

 

I will be doing the same thing Ethan did and I will try and document it. The body shop will be doing it so I'm not sure if I can take pics step by step.

Does Stealin, make an AE kit? I thought that their kits were the Touring and the Aero?

 

People ask me all the time "how I did I do it exactly". Well you have to realise I can't just say cut here and here and do this and that.. It's diffucult to say where to do something when such a large area was modified.

Let's just say it took a total of about 25 minutes using a table saw and a dremel.

Finished product

 

But did you have to heat up the STEALIN kit and stretch it?

 

Were any modifications needed for the sideskirts or rear bumper?

 

No

 

No

 

juss one question...how did you 'stretch' the front to get the extra 2 inches?
holla

 

No, the AE kit came on the 2001 Anniv. Ed. Maximas.

 

*bump*

the stretch?


emax, your car is one bad *** ****! LOVE THAT LIP KIT!
