I'm in the market for a body kit for my Sterling Mist 02 SE, nothing fancy, something clean looking. I'm pretty much set on the Stillen Classic Front Lip. IMO it looks a lot cleaner than the Custom Maxima one. That one is modeled off the 00-01 Maxima, so the two air dams don't match at all to me.

Anyways, what should I get to finish off the rest of the car? Will my stock sides be good enough with just a rear lip? Should I just get the whole Stillen kit? What about some AE sides and rear with the Stillen Classic front lip? Any pics of this?

 

I was wondering the same, I have stock sides and was just thinking of going with the front and back as well.

 

i honestly don't think anything's worth putting on on 02-03's, nothing seems to 100% flow

 

Well I think the AE kit flows nicely. That's why I was considering the AE sides and rear. The Stillen Classic front lip IMO flows the best because it's subtle, yet sporty. I don't know about the Stillen sides and rear though.. they seem to have too much of a roundness to them.

 

Have to disagree with you. The 02-03 Classic lip looks the best.

 

 

Not really b/c everyone knows what they look like. Most people on this board have one of these styles.



For my '03 I was just going to get the Stillen rear with the stock sides. I think that would look great. The AE kit is too expensive and is too small on the rear. Just my $.02.

 

Ok so I will agree wit you that this thread isn't completely worthless without the pics. A lot of people know what they look like but those who do not own one of the styles might not know how well they fit or look, like for example me. So pics would help a bit in this forum if those people would like to give their .02 cents also.

 

True, that would be helpfull.

 

Knock yourself out guys..

I was thinking of doing that too, but the Stillen rear is starting to look bad to me. How much are some AE sides and rear going for?

 

looks best out of all the ones out there but it still doesnt flow 100%. and besides, what's the point in getting a front when the sides are also a waste and the rear is...

 

I feel the whole kit looks nice. One reason why I got it!!

 

heres another option, not alot of ppl like it but im just throwin it out here for ya

 

the stock 02-03 sides look ok with a front and rear lip. imo you should just get the whole kit.

 

Hey BP........you're car is the inspiration I needed to get the Stillen kit.

 

thanks man. this kit fits our cars very well and you can't lose with either lip, be sure to post pics once you install it.

 

02-03 Classic lip is the best.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

 

Give me a until the end of August and I will have a new kit made. We are just finishing the molds and should have something soon...and yes we are trying to make them out of rubber like the factory bumpers.

 

Will it be a complete kit or just a new bumper? Did you get suggestions from the Org on how it should look?

 

It will be a complete kit. And I got it from a few ideas from here but pretty much came up with the design as we made the molds. I figured that eveyone never like the samething..so it will just be something else people can pick..It also has the factory side markers.

 

Can you give us pictures of the molding? Will it be simple like the Stillen classic lip, moderate like the Maxxtuning, or aggressive like the Redmax/CM bumber?

 

I think most people here will want a small teaser shot.

 

Ya I agree that most want more info, and I may have spoken alittle too soon. But, the closes thing to it is a much cleaner version of the kombat kit I guess, but with much more detail and able to fit the factory 5.5 gen grill. (so that it will work for all the 5th gens) and still have the factory side markes and all. Only thing deleted from the factory bumper was the factory fogs...I thought the were to big, but they may be able to still put after markets of almost any size.
I will try to get some usable pics from the molds.

 

Does it look sort of what your kit looks like?

 

I got the shop to send my some pics:
Here is the front.


And the back. The muffler will fall behind the the grill and hide it and it will take single or dual. But if you want to you ca remove the grills and show off the muffler if some chooses.

 

go wit the stillen classic in the front and sides, they look the best with the stock rims

 

I love the way mine looks

AND the fitment is perfect.
