I say for a stealthy look, Stillen. For an aggressive look yet not to over the top, MT. That being said, I would choose Stillen over MT.

yea, i agree with the aggressive vs. stealthy comparison. i like the aggresive look, the MT lip, CF eyelids, and black housing headlights will look nice and aggresive once i get the car done...after GOD DAMN WINTER

Which Lip?

I would definitely say the Stillen. The look is a lot cleaner and the lines flow better. Have it molded in when you paint it, should look nuts. But what do I know!!!!! Good choice, though!

stillen owns in this catagory, mt looks like a snow plow with holes in the middle, someday i plan to have stillen front rear and hopefully some decent sides come out, all 100% molded with the splash gaurds molded into the sides and rear as well....

I'm liking the Stillen classic more and more. At this point, it's almost a toss-up.

i chose the stillen lip over the mt. imo the mt was a little too 'aggresive' for my taste. both look good, it just depends on what you like.

Stillen all the way, I can't stand of how bulky the MT sides are. It doesn't go with the flow of the car. Just my .02

I totally agree with you. It's the sides that turns me off. It seems so much fatter on the sides than the original Stillen aero for 00-01's, which makes it look extremely aftermarket...

The MT IMO is a lot nicer, the two holes in the MT Lip look like my nephew cut them out at pre-school. doesnt really have a 'style', just my opinion.

I got the kombat kit (full) now, i keep looking at the stillen lip and its pulling me into buying one the more i see it

I don't like the stillen one and prefer the MT Lip and that's my opinion. But what I really wanted and loved is the AE edition on the 2002 Maxima I believe. That kit from the factory is awesome. I wish I bought that Maxima when it was out. I know someone on this org modified the whole kit to make it fit on 03 but that's too much work.

MT Looks Better IMO. Correct me if i am wrong but stillen's lip is more expensive and you get less of a lip. MT = more aggressive and cheaper

Like it or not the MT lip looks killer on Grey Lustre. The funny thing is my car is now sitting at a dealership with the stillen side/rear and a MT front lip which is more or less 1 of 25 ever made. Anyhow I must say that the MT lip may be more aggressive but makes the front end of the car just look so bad-*** coming down the road.

hamy, your car is the reason i GOT grey luster AND the MT lip...i agree with you, and like i said before, with the blackhouse headlights and carbon fiber curved eyelids, it will look very badass on GLs.

MT's rule....... I must say I'm content in owning a rare piece, I haven't ran into another Max in the area with it- i'm proud i was the first to to pay for this lip, when the project was not even a reality

From day one I wanted the look of the AE lip on my 2k2, now I have it
The skateboard edge look of the Stillen is not my style....

so which one is more expensive? MT lip or Stillen?

They both look really nice IMO.. it would be a hard choice to choose one right now...

Does MT sideskirts and rear the same as Stillen????

thanx!

MaxxTuning just custom produced this lip because of the demand people had for a Stillen AEro/AE lip for 5.5 gens- you'd have to get the remainder of the Stillen kit to complete the kit - or you can mix n match with the other fiberglass kits on the market

Long story on that one. We got ripped off because the company closed down and the guy ran away with a few grand.
