Body Kit Opinion/Advice

So living in Philly I learned an important lesson. NEVER PARK UR CAR ON A CORNER.

I come out to my car in the morning to find my rear Sarona bumer laying on the side walk...Apparently some drunk ahole crashed into my car...I decided to back with a stock bumper because I can't afford to get the Sarona bumper again.

My question is, has any1 tried to mix and match Sarona front bumper and skirts with like a rear lip?

If so what lip? and pics please!

As far as advice, do you guys think that would look good or should I just go to all stock and then get like a stillen kit? As far as looks go...

There is only one option for a rear "Lip" ABS or Stillen. Other then that you will have to get a rear bumper.

As far as looks are concerened ahh....

There was a nice 03 grey lustre max on cardomain and he had a nice combo of a Maxx tuning front lip, Sarona side skirts, and Stillen rear valence! Looked pretty darn kick ****! here's the link http://www.cardomain.com/ride/342336

Peace and good luck!

I actually like the look of the maxxtuning lip, sits a little further down it appears. i wonder which one is better in quality, the maxxtuning or the stillen lip.

Homeboy, what year do you have?

So right now you have a Sarona front-end and sides with a stock rear?


IMHO, dump the Sarona and get a full stillen kit. It's cleaner and won't crack like fiberglass.

Yea I realized that really quickly. To tell you the truth the car looked really nice when I had both the kits ont here....

Whether it looks rice or not is a matter of opinion. But it is true with that kit on there you go to drive the car like its made out of gold.

I like to drive it like i stole it...

I live in Philly and here's my Max before.

I cracked this front bumper so I try to order exact sameone but unfortunately Stillen doesn't make this bumper no more. Right now I got Octane bumper it looks aggressive and all but with my Tein S tech springs on it sits so damn low I can't even go up my own driveway, so I got the whole factory 2k2 stock bumper and just ordered Stillen classic lip. btw I'm selling the Octane bumper so lemme know if you know with black maxima who might be intrested.

Speakng from exp, if u go for a paint job make sure to go to a place that has a good reputation. I got my fenders painted at what i thought was a good deal....and now i got to get them repainted again because it was cheap paint, looked good at the time, but now it is nasty!!

I'm really frustrated about the bumper, I can't go nowhere. I'm just gonna go with the Stillen classic lip spoiler.

Woo Cho, Steve at SCO has the Stillen bumper. I just got mine painted out and put on. I went with a deal that was on here but I was talking with Steve for a minute about it. Check him out and see if he can't get it for you.

i had a custom made aluminum skid plate made that is under the bumper, and it is attached to the frame of the car, so if my front bumper bottoms out it just scrapes the plate
