Nismo Style Front Lip???

On ebay I saw....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36475

this appears to be the same as the front of the stillen aero kit...

Basically i wanna know if you think this alone would look ok on the car without sides or a back bc i really just want the front to have the aggressive look...

Car is gonna look like a snowplow w/o the rest of the kit. And BTW, there is no Nismo style. Just pay the extra few bucks and get the Stillen lip. Call up Southwest Autoworks for a maxima.org price.

price is great but i'll bet that fitment blows

i bought an abs plastic lip (stillen aero knock-off) from ebay for $135. DID NOT FIT!!!! there were spaces & gaps between the bumper & the lip all over the place. i got my money back & the seller didnt even want me to ship it back to him. what a waste of plastic

After buying the stillen front and rear lips then going around to bodyshops trying to find someone that would paint it I found out that getting the best is always the best. Even it it does cost more for the parts it will save at the body shops. Some would only paint it if the pieces fit perfectly and were in excelent condition. I guess they are tired of ricers coming in with their used pieces of crap body kits looking for someone to paint them.

TEEdotMAX could you post some pics of the lip that you got. I'm just curious to how it fit.

Ignorant fools.

BTW, how much did you pay to have your kit painted? I got mine painted for $200 few weeks ago. Not sure what everyone else was paying. I need to install my Stillen kit but I'm too lazy to install them.

WILDMANAL... I never put the lip on because of the crappy fitment. I did, however, take some test fitting pics to show the seller. Check out my page 3...
http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/567995/3

Everytime you lined something up on the car the rest of the lip is wayyy off. For example, when i lined up the piece that wraps around into the passenger side wheel well, there was a huge gap between the fog light and lip itself. and the piece that wraps around into the driver side wheel well didnt even reach that far... even after yanking on the lip trying to get it to reach. Oooh and not to mention that the plastic that they use is verrrry flimsy. The lip was cracked at the corners from shipping. You would expect the seller to send it in a box, but nope. They simply wrapped it up in some FedEX shipping plastic & sent it on its way. Bottom line, ebay knock-offs suck big ones.

Well I am paying somewhere around $335. I am currently having my kit painted. The pics in my sig. are of the non painted stillen pieces. I had an estimate from another shop for $225 without being installed. I went with the $335 shop because he said that if they installed it that it would NOT come off and the shop was a lot better. It's been 8 days and they still haven't called me to bring my car in for the install. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday I'll have it.
