Stillen Front Lip

I bought a Stillen Front Lip for my 5.5 Maxima on ebay. It finally came in the mail, I went to do a test fit just to make sure it fits and all that jazz. Doesn't fit.

Has anyone else had similar problems in the past and give me insight on modifications and how to fit it properly? thanks!

Knocks offs aren't the best. General rule of thumb- if it says 2000-2003- it probably won't fit. Pony up the 210 and get a genuine stillen front lip. However, I bought a spacer kit from Stillen that didn't fit- I'm on week 3 of trying to return it complete BS

Ebay has really become a place for scams. I bought a couple of Jerseys that looked 100% authentic. Got them from China and both the XL and XXL must have been for a 10 year old in China.

I really try not to buy anything on Ebay anymore.

I really got hammered by Stillen. I just got mine a month and a half ago delivered to Ontario.

$206 + $40 brokerage + $97 shipping + $32 Tax = $375

I was expecting high shipping but not the other BS.

Unfortunately no Stillen vendors in Canada and not much access to used. depressing the price of automotive stuff here.
