Anybody *think* Stillen will EVER make an AERO front lip for the 2K2+?

Anybody got pics with the rest of the kit(sides/rear), but no lip?

 

Icey...look at Juice's 2k2...he has stillen rear valence, sarona sides and no front lip

 

The search feature at test.maxima.org doesn't work (I get no results no matter what I look for) so I couldn't find the thread I'm thinking of, but another org member was supposedly working with a manufacturer to make a Stillen Aero replica lip designed for the 2k2-2k3. He called it the AE kit in the title of the thread but farther down he corrected it and said it would look just like the Stillen Aero.

 

D-you are referring to ICULOOKIN

 

It will be out, but I'm not sure when..

 

That's what I'm afraid of...if Stillen is saying "6-months" then I would say, never.

 

Well they're done, we just don't know when Stillen will be ready to send them all out.

 

Hopefully, they only redid the front, so it matches the rest of the 2K-2K1 aerokit.

 

That's what it is.

 

You wouldn't be fibbing just to sell me that bumper, would ya?

 

You should know I wouldn't do that. I'm gonna go take a couple more pics of it for you right now also. Any particular angles of the bumper you're looking for?

 

J/K! Yeah, a side shot, like 60-degrees, so the glare from the FLASH doesn't reflect so bad.

I haven't seen a good shot of the grille spacing, since it's always a blur.

 

can u send me some pics also? to gte839m@yahoo.com

 

Yes it will be out, but the question is when. I spoke with PJ at Maxxtuning on Tuesday, he stated he was going to NY at the end of this week to have a meeting with the middleman. The middleman will be the one who decides if the kit is made or not. The kit will be made of ABS plastic and made in Taiwan.

 

Check page 9 of my homepage.

 

Thanks.

I'm going to have to come down and see it in person to decide.

 

what happened to custommaxima's new kit for 02 and 03??

 

I saw a 2k2 Maxima in San diego with aero lip !

 

Yep, keep hearing rumors people see them, but I haven't seen anyone here with one.

 

Is it just me or does that look almost exactly like the stock front bumper? Aside from the grills what's the difference?

 

NOTHING, it is a stock bumper.

 

Yep, its a stock 2k2+ bumper with custom Precision grilles.

 

I emailed stillen on this issue. Here is my email to them followed by their response. This is from a week ago. enjoy


My email:
Hello,

I was given this email address by a friend. I am not sure if it is going to the proper department. If it needs to be sent somewhere else, would you please forward it for me.

I am writing in regards to the design of an aero kit for the 2002-2003 Nissan maxima. I don't know if stillen has any plans to manufacture this item already, but if you don't, would you please consider it. The aero kit I am thinking of would resemble the Nissan factory aero kit that came standard on the 2001 Maxima Anniversary Edition. This kit would be perfect because it provides a sporty and aggressive look without being as aggressive as the Touring lip your company currently offers.

As you know, there were slight cosmetic differences between the 2k2-2k3 maximas and 2k-2k1 models. This slight change, while being more aggressive and better looking, also leaves 2k2-2k3 owners unable to use as many products as the other 5th generation Maxima owners. If you were to browse the many Maxima community websites such as www.maxima.org and www.nissanx.com , you would see that there would be quite a good demand for this product.

I appreciate your time and willingness to look into the production of this product. If you are already producing or planning production of this product, let me thank you.

Thank you for your time,
Austin Speer



Stillen Response:
Austin-

Thanks for your note and your interest in Stillen.

I want to respond to your request. There are a couple of factors that affect this.

First of all we would not duplicate a Nissan part or anyone else's part.

Secondly, the touring spoilers have predominantly outsold our standard spoilers wherever we have both applications available.

Making a new urethane part requires a substantial investment in modeling and mold expenses. We are very careful to make our best estimate of how well an item will sell before committing to a substantial investment on it.

I will put this in front of the group that examines new product ideas.

Thanks for your input.

Sincerely,

Jeff Ricciardi
Stillen

 

The saga continues.

 

"DAMN"....Hopefully PJ at Maxx Tuning will be able accomplish this.

 

emax has the 00-01 installed on his 02. Looks nice.

 

It's hacked and others have tried and failed.

Plus, it probably looks like sheit up close.

 

Been there, done that and YES, when I did it, it looked like crap up close. Don't know about Ethan's one though.

What ever did happen to custom maxima's skyline kit?
wasn't it suppose to be done by this month....like in production....
someone crashed into my front, destroyed my bumper headlight hood fender ...well i basically need to replace my front pasenger side corner.
where is the kit?
i would like to buy one asap.....stillen kits dont look too good...all but the aero...i've been riding around my mx w/ sides and rear valence for over a yr now....i think i need a front~

 

It's been is several of my import mags including a FULL pager in Turbo & High Tech Performance for the last few issues.

Too bad it's photoCHOPPED!

 

stillen didn't and probably will not make the aero kit for us, i wanted that custom maxima kit ever since someone photochopped for their sig and when all the votes were going on about it....NOW SOMEONE crashed into the front and i need a bumper......
HMM>......its almost like an OMEN~

 

What the heck is he talkin' about? They already make the damn Aero kit for 00-01's...It's not a copy anyways, since it's a little different and hangs down a little lower too...damn them!

 

Auuugh...supposedly a dealer on here has SOLD at least TWO 2K2+ aero lips.

 

 

I'm pretty sure you're the one who said it looks good from far away, but not up close. Plus, you never showed good pictures up close, so I figured you were hiding something.

 

Ok, then let me ask a dumb question. Why would you pay hundreds of dollars for basically the same front bumper that you have now? Plus you have to worry about installing and matching the paint it and everything. Is it just for the grills?

 

Yes.



































J/K
1)The grilles are custom and are pretty close to what I've always wanted, but can't buy.
2)I need to repaint my front bumper soon anyways, so the cost is a wash.
3)The 2K2 bumper is MEANER looking then my 2K1 and fits my 2K2 headlights better.

The only problem is that I already have a 2K-2K1 aero kit and want a matching front lip.

 

Ahh, I gotcha now Icey, that makes sense. I was thinking you had a 2k2/2k3. And those grilles are sweet, I wish I could get just that and leave my stock 2k3 bumper.

 

looks good this was my next project to customize some billet grill in my main grill & valance opening
