New Stillen Kit and '02 Sides ***PICS***
Hey guys. Some of you probably read about my past troubles with the Stillen kit fitting what turned out to be a non-OEM rear bumper. I finally got all the fitment issues etc. sorted out and I had my neighbor who owns my local Nissan dealership help me out with the paint and install. He actually hooked me up pretty well on prices.
New OEM Rear Bumper $150
Paint and Install Rear Bumper and Stillen Rear Lip $250
Repaint Front Bumper and Paint and Install Front Lip $250
I bought the 02 sides and mudguards already painted sterling mist from nismo0604 for $175
Unfortunately when I went to pick up my car I immediately noticed the front lip wasn't the same color as the front bumper which is because it wasn't repainted. Apparently a mixup with a barely speaking english worker resulted in the front bumper not being painted and thus not blending into the newly painted stillen lip. I'm bringing it in when I'm done with finals to get the front bumper painted for free so then it will all match well. Once the sun stopped glaring the front isn't as noticeably different in color. Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...yes I am dropped (H&R's) and I'm probably getting rims next summer.

BTW the kit looks clean. Im jealous, classic lip looks nice on any color. That color makes me wonder why I searched for months for a black one.

Thanks for the positive comments guys...I love it as well, I just can't wait for them to finally do everything I wanted (re-paint the front bumper so the front lip blends in better and bc it's destroyed from new england winters for five years) Oh well my appointment is on the 17th because the service guy is on vacation till then. After I get it done I just gotta 1. keep it clean 2. don't wax 3. park east/west in the sun and depending on the weather it should all fade together nicely in about a month. Few buddies of mine who work at autoshops basically all told me the same thing. A month or so and the clear coat fades a bit and it gets less shiny and blends into the rest of the car nicely...or so i hope...even tho it still looks fine in the pictures hah.

I love that kit. The rear lip and front of that Stillen kit is still the best kit hands down that I have ever seen. That rear look is what made me like the 5th gen rear. Before that I never liked it that much. Good job, looks great.
