Sarona body kit v. Stillen body kit

I dont know how to do the poll on here since I'm new, but I'd like to know which body kit do you like and why - Sarona or Stillen. I know opinions are like a$$holes - everybody has one. I want to know your opinion.

IMO, neither of them look very good. I do like the stillen sides and rear but the front is ugly. I dont consider the Sarona a kit, its more of a spacecraft/Rice Maxima mutation.

I think it looks hot, the stillen one is kinda wacky in the front.. doesnt seem to flow with the car to me.

04maxse, it actually looks good on your car. Darker colors help it look more sleek but on a lighter color car it just doesnt look right.

I'm all for the stillen kit, of course thats why i bought it. For me it looks a lot cleaner and less "ricey" then the sarona one. Not to mention the price difference. I've seen the sarona one in person but its too much for me and for where i drive i would scratch that thing up like crazy with pot holes and what not. Stillen adds a little but looks nice. Unfortunently, i haven't gotten it installed yet....i just have to wait to the spring.

I don't like the front of the stillen eighter, that fin or whatever near the corner light just don't go with the rest of the car.

sarona I like alittle. takes the corner light out and puts a hole for fogs witch I like. but the slots on the rear bumper cover looks stupid.

Thats the only thing I dont like about the front, thats also why I think it looks a lot better on dark colors, because you cant see the slots as good. I have thought about the stillen kit and said if I ever did buy it I would probably get a bodyshop to modify the front and make it run with the lines and remove the slots in front.

okay, How about a sarona front and a stillen sides and back bumper. People do that all the time, I think that would look sick.

Just my .02

I am thinking about the Sarona front and sides and maybe not putting anything in the rear. I like the mesh look of the Sarona. I agree the three holes in the rear piece are strange-looking but it may look ok in person. When I receive the kit from the ebay seller, which should be in a couple weeks (fingers crossed), Ill install it and take pics.

I agree with Glude....the Maxima looks fine just the way it is. But, different strokes for different folks, as long as it makes you happy, that is all that matters. You pay for it.
