00-01 Stillen Lip owners...

I had my Stillen Aero lip installed recently and I wanted to know if you guys have the same gap between your bumper and lip that I do...

Rehosted pics...

Pic of said gap:



I looked through a ton of pics but none of them were close enough to see if they had a similar gap...

Also some pics of the lip on the car since some people had some ?'s on how it looked without the rest of the kit (sides and rear).

I don't have that kit, but i have helped a few friends install various types of kits, from the pics it seems like the double sided tape is to far up, try to remove it and set it a bit lower, that might help close the gap. But don't worry that gap is not bad at all compared to some kits I've seen for the maxima.

Good luck!

GAps are cool! Actually I have a gap also. It doesn't detract from the look at all. IMO!

Are they still the red X of death? I am seeing them no prob, the hosting site might of had a problem for a little while... if it still a problem I will re host them.

I am not that worried about the gap, if it normal, I am fine with it. But when I pay a bodyshop $220 to paint and install it, I want it to be done right.

They were... I got sick of them, so I painted them back to silver.
