Don't see a difference. Up-close shots perhaps?

well its only the front thats different...I know its hard to see the difference

I just unbolted by Ninja bumper yesterday and Ive been getting alot more looks and compliments with the Stillen front piece on...maybe because it looks a little less insane?

not to mention its been growing on me as well

i dunno

i didnt like it at all at first (had to unbolt the ninja because Im sending it over to the shop to get fixed, dumba.s.s mechanic finally paid up)

if you look closely you'll see the stillen front is a little rounder and the ninja juts out at the bottom

I think I like the stillen front better. It seems to flow better with the car, I guess because it is a smaller add on piece.

The side rockers look tight though. Are they from the ninja kit?

Did I hear that Stillen is coming out with a new kit sometime soon? Any pics yet?

With the Stillen Kit, how close to the ground does the front end come.... The new Stillen Touring Spoiler doesn't look bad but I want the front to be within about 6" with my H&R springs. That's one of the main reasons I'm attracted to the Ninja, that and I think it looks pretty good. But I don't really want a fiberglass front end.

Jafo there is a humongous difference with the stillen and the ninja

put it this way...with the Ninja kit I have to drive my car into my driveway at a certain angle...or ill clip my bumper...with the stillen kit I can drive straight in

I think its messed with my head...even when I have the stillen kit on i get scared when i go over bumps

-edit-

isn't the H&R drop even lower than the eibach drop? if so you're gonna have like 3-4 inches clearance

im guessing you dont live in NYC

I agree with Pmp-n8a on the different kits. I haven't seen the Ninja kit, but looks very similar to the 4th gen Stillen lip. Jane's car is higher than mine, but because of the lip, she scrapes when driving head on. I can go head on up/down the same driveways without scraping. This sucks even more because the Ninja kit is fiberglass vs. urethane (4th gen Stillen lip).

I was just comparing my max to a few BMW's that appear to be stock and they are at least 2" lower and they dont seem to have a problem with speed bumps.

I was told by stillen that the stillen front spoiler will lower only .5". Does anyone know if the new touring spoiler lowers it about the same amount or more?

I kind of like the look of the ninja because I could easily put a mesh grill in it but I think that I would rather have urethane rather than fiberglass.

Jafo...look at the the distance of the bumper from front bumper to wheel on the BMW

the reason the Beemers dont hit is because the wheel is close to the front bumper...if you go up a ramp...the wheel will hit the ramp before the bumper has a chance to hit

if you look at the bumper in my picture...like 2 beemer bumpers could squeeze into the ninja front...including the bottom flare

im even hardpressed to go into any kind of place unless there is a straight entrance into the place (no ramp)

hell i even scraped by kit going into a Boston Market
on northern blvd.

I like the Stillen front spoiler better than the ninja one. Although the ninja one looks nice from the side, it is too agressive straight on. As other people said, the Stillen flows better with the rest of the car and the ninja side skirts.

You know... I think that the bodykits for the Max-y are way to EXTREME. Ninja is really really agressive and made of fiberglass while the Stillen is really subtle and made of poly. I think there should be a semi agressive poly body kit.
