Stillen Lip kit

What modfications are needed for the 2k-2k1 lip kit to fit a 2002 maxima? Just the fog lights? or is there length issues also.

thanks

PS, I did a search and it was disabled

I tried it an I personally didn't care for it. Emax was able to stretch the kit to fit since the 2k2 bumpers are about 2" wider. I was not able to successfully do that so I ended up cutting the bumper in half and extending it. It still didn't fit good so I basically abandoned the project. I still have the front lip if you wanna try it. We can work out a price if you're interested in trying this.

it will be hard....

As people mentioned above, Emax does have them..but When i tried on 2002 bumper, it was very difficult, but if you really want this, Custom the Fog light parts and middle section. then i believe kit will fit on 02...

how much did u guys pay for this? plus is the install difficult, or can someone with any kind of common sense do this? i saw the package on stillen was for around $800, but i just want the front. i'm assuming i'll have to paint it myself? tia.

I guess im going to order one then, if its too much for me to handle, I can bring it to a body shop and have them install it in addition to painting it.

you can get the whole kit for around that price($800)...and yes, paint/install is extra. if you're thinking about getting the front lip from Stillen, get the rest of the kit as well. it looks kinda weird with just the front lip. trust me, i've done it before.

Like i've said a dozen times in the past now, the front needs to be stretched out.. A bunch of cutting is necsasary too, it's not exactly a walk in the park. The finished product looks good from 90% of the angles but apawn closer inspection you can see flaws.


End result
