Stillen Kit
I am going to place an order for the stillen kit in the next week or so, and i was wondering what a good price for installation is. (Painting and mounting the touring front lip, sideskirts, and rear valience). I'm in school so i dont have a lot of $$, and i don't want to be ripped off.

it really depends...you pay for what you get..most of the times if the shop is not a rip off if you pay more you get a better job..i would say..ask you local body shops for a quote...I would check out the shop facilities or the cars they are working on

Might have to spend a weekend in MD for that. Get you ride back yet?

I have a black car by the way, so would that matter?

molded kits require actual body work and make the car and the kit look like a single, smooth piece rather than 'add-on's'. the problem is a lot of people damage the kits because of the height. if you want to fix it, you can just get another lip and have it installed, but if it's molded, it's a pain to take off AND, you now have to have more bodywork done AGAIN to put the new one on or even to just remove it if it's damaged bad enough. it does look sweet, but compared to the risks? i'd rather just 'bolt on' the kit (which still looks sweet anywayz, w/o all the bodywork).

I think molding it is a good idea, looks great it's what I intend to do with mine. If you hit somthing you can bet the bumper is gonna be srewed any way you mount it so why not do it right. Also unless you have an extream drop theres not much to worry aobut.

That sounds like a good idea... How much more expensive is molding the kit on that simply bolting it on?
And does anyone know where i can see this kit on a black max? I have never seen the entire kit on a maxima, only the old stillen kit or just the front lip.
And its a long shot but......... Have any idea how i can see some pics of this thing molded on to the car?
I'm going to order this thing next week I think.
