I will get the Stillen classic front and sides but the rear does not do it for me. Are there any other pieces even by other brands available for the 5.5 gen? Something that looks tasteful. thanks in advance

Probabyl not... you could check though, I'm not for sure.

Stillen has a monopoly on the rear lip for the 5/5.5 owners. The only other things I've since have been the full rear bumper conversion and they are all garbage.

j/k... but yea the AE lip fits fine for sure. The stillen fits perfectly with a frankencar/cattman exhaust as yuo can see.

I think the Stillen or the knock off looks better then the AE because of the way it wraps around the exhaust. On the AE it just kind of sticks out like a

another angle....
Pretty much I think the tips of the cattman or frankencar type make the lip look better.



With the stock exhaust.

i agree with both sides, the stillen looks good , its a nice clean lip (no spoiler, FTW!) but i do wish there were other alternatives. Maybe something unvented, something that hung a little lower toward the rear. There is the JDubs rear bumper, but i dont feel like finding a picture of it right now.

Bad angle, but everyone else was posting so what the hell.


Anyone else have problems with the exhaust touching on one side? I have the Cattman and it touches on the right side.

I bought my full Stillen kit through Redlinemax.com. You can order the ABS rear lip, but people have had problems with the lip melthing with aftermarker exhausts. I also feel the ABS does not look as good as the Stillen.

I order mine straight from Stillen which came out to be with shipping $880, and $600 to have it painted.

I was thinking of getting ABS since it was cheaper but decided not to.

Yup, I ordered mine from Stillen too. They had a 20% sale on urethane parts at the time.

Again, anyone have issues with the exhaust touching on the rear?

ABS makes front and rear no sides (that i know of)

Personally scince you have a white maxima (probably pearl white) Id get a stillen front also, it will take the abuse and pearl white paint = lots of $$$

Ebay... I've had mine for over a year now and had no problems with it melting or anything at all for that matter. It's probably due to the fact that I don't have my exhaust resting on it.

That had a front and rear combo but I didn't see it. Just get your search on you'll probably come up with it. The only thing is that the front doesn't look like the stillen classic, it looks more like the MT lip.

I think I need to take mine off and recenter it around the exhaust opening.
