modding 01' stillen lip to fit a 02'

W/ a 10% Chance I'll ever come up on a Maxxtunning Lip,

that only leaves me w/slim to No options besides the good ole' Classic n the touring lip which is horrible IMO

How hard is it to put the 01' Classic on my 02' it kinda has that Maxxtuning look but a lil diff I think it would look hot in black on my 5.5

any feedback/info plz lmk...thanx in advance

the lower part of the bumper is very different, especially around the fog lights and wheel wells

It has been done before. Search over on nycmaximas.org. From what I remember it looked pretty good. I believe it required a good amount of work to fit though. I recall seeing a thread with pictures, but I did a quick search and came up blank.

I'm sure you would have to cut the middle and add a little bit to either sides as they are shorter than the maxxtuning lip due to the bigger front bumper, it would be quite the work but very possible keep us posted with pics if you do it... I thought about doing this before, just never did

Based on the posted pictures, I think I am going to do this. QNO_A32, do you have a link for the lip you bought?
Will this lip work?

yeah i hear ya, remember this wasnt made for the 02-03 bumper though. also it was my first try, if i had another id be able to make it fit better. but im ok with it enough to just leave it as is...looks mean.

i say stick with the classic lip. it fits perfect. may not be the most agressive, but it slides on like a glove and looks like it should be there
