Imitation Stillen Rear fittment?

http://www.tomato-racing.com/
it is on this page. no direct link. got to rear lips and go down to maxima. (i'm sure you can figure it out) Anyone that has bought one of these . How is the fittment? I am looking at this or the stillen rear and am not sure if the Stillen is worth the price difference.
Let me know.

It's the ABS lip that is made out of plastic and it's not nearly as strong, durable, or flexible as stillen's polyeurothane kit, but then again it doesn't really matter on the back unless you back into something i suppose...altho the fitment on the stillen kit is perfect and i'm not sure about the abs plastic version...check out southwestautoworks.com and ask for steve...he'll give 5% discount for maxima.org members....too bad you missed out on the free shipping they offered for a few months.

I do. I just dropped it off for paint at tilleys and will be getting it installed on saturday. For 1/3 of the price of the "stealin" I think its well worth it.

Hey guys I bought the same Stillen like rear lip only on ebay for $100 from different seller. It's the ABS one. Well I tried the fitment and it kinda harder to fit it then the Stillen one, cause I have the stillen front classic lip and I know how it's differenet. Well that rear lip does fit though, but not as easy as Stillen, you would defenately would have to bolt the ABS one to your bumper, otherwise it's not going to even hold on.
Well the funny thing was that they misspelt "Stillen" incorrect, they said it like this "this is the styllen like rear lip..." Well they still sold me one and no problems. Was easy to contact also.

I saved $158 + whatever shipping is from Stealin. The fitment isn't perfect but its not bad at all. Looks good and I had some $$ left over to put towards my HS headers.

close up pics 2 so we can see the "iffy" fitment so we can decide for ourselves if our body shop guys would have a problem or not, thanks

Doesnt mean you need to buy from stillen. There are some other sites that carry stillen products cheaper. But the best alternative is buying used. There is always somebody trading in their car or selling their car.

I can't complain about the fitment. I had a Nissan body shop paint the rear lip and I installed it myself with screws and 3M double-sided tape.

Here's my ABS rear lip.

The fitment was easier then I thought it would be. You defenately would need somebody to help you out, otherwise it would be way to hard. I srewed each side with two bolts, and it holds pretty good. the lip looks great, just like stillen. Here some pics...
