Stillen Kit **PICS***

Ok well I finally got the rear put on...installer told me that he had to shave the back of the kit to get it to fit bc he says the rear bumper is not the OEM one and that's why i couldn't get it to fit ...it musta been in an accident at some point and they used a cheaper aftermarket bumper for replacement maybe? Anyways they did the best job they could getting it on and it doesn't connect as flush as the sides or front bc of the fitment problem but it's on there and not moving and there is a little bit of a gap right where it connects where the mudguards would be but no biggie..nothin u'd notice a few feet away...i paid $400 for the kit so i'll take that deal...front lip painted and installed in a week or so after these few snow storms hit hard ..i saw no point in painting it new then having salt etc ruin it the first week i got it...here's a few pics i took this morning...tell me what you think

nice choice, looks almost like my car. i suppose you got the aero front lip? personally i like the 02-03 tailights on lighter colored cars but it's just a preference.

tint next!

looks really good. hard to tell in that pic, but does the paint match up well? i know lighter cars are hard to match, but that looks pretty good.

its funny, when you have your own kit on you always see the little blemishes, little mistakes or nuances... but when you look at others its really nice. Your kit looks hot and the fitment isnt even noticeable (unless you got the good angles )

Looks good, keep us updated when you get the front on
