Beating a dead horse--> 02 MT lips same as 02 Stillen Aero??
Ok I have looked at all the old posts, but I am still not sure about this;
The Max Tuning Lip for the 02-03 is it the same as the 02-03 Stillen Aero Lip or just the 00-01 Aero lip
I looked on SCO and that is what it looked like they were showing, but some older posts seem to contradict this..
and correct me if I am wrong, but the Aero and the Classic are two different lips?

Aero and classic ARE different. The aero swoopes up on the sides, and really is imo not too good looking (sorry all who believe differently). And as for the max tuning and stillen lip, definately different from each other. Go to www.sportcompactonly.com and you can look at them back to back.

this is the Stillen Classic, for 00-01
and this is the Max Tuning front lip for the 02-03
i know they arent the same angle, but to answer your question, yes, the look of the lips is the same. they dont fit the same cars however, but they do look basically the same.
There is no Stillen Aero front lip. There is the Stillen Touring, and then the Stillen Classic for the 02-03. So depending on what year car you have, would depend on which one you would purchase for the "AE" look.

it doesnt seem to have the same look as the MT, but the one listed for the 00-01 (like one you have pictured) does?

according to Stillens site, there is no such thing as an Aero Lip, thats just what they used to refer to their whole kit as.
The style you linked to is this. This is what Stillen calls the Classic Lip for the 02-03
If you want something like that for an 00-01, it doesnt exist, it only fits the 02-03.
So, the Max Tuning lip is for the 02-03, which looks like the Stillen Classic 00-01 lip. The problem is that stillen refers to them both as classic for some reason, but the style you posted and i have a picture of does not exist for the 00-01.

I have an 02-03 front, but I like the 00-01 lip better, so I guess I am gonna go with the Max Tuning Lip,
Thanks again for clearing this up for me.

Thanks.

MAXRB8 How does your MT front lip match up with the stillen skirts in comparison with your stock 02-03 skirts?

My stillens need some convincing too all around, especially the side skirts. From afar they don't look too bad. I'll see when it gets nice and hot up here ( if it ever does) and I'll try re-installing these.
Thanks for the help

IIRC, the background information on the MT lip is that it is a copy of the stillen aero lip just modified for the 2k2/2k3 bumper. I still remember all the hype and excitement (and the drama) when they were first coming out with the prototypes because at that time, the only lip available for the 2k2/2k3 was the touring lip. Maxxtuning did pretty well in making a stillen aero copy for the 2k2/2k3.
