Ok so i've had this Stillen Kit since august and due to one reason or another I have not been able to get it installed. I just graduated from SHU, and the first thing i did was drop the car off in the shop. 1 week later and $850 down the kit is finally on. Very pleased with the work and the price was a lot less then expected. And now the pics:

Looks great. It looks like the curse of the low left tail pipes has caught you too. I believe it's an easy fix though.

Yeah it has, It doesn't really bother me that much tho. Next mod is either rims or exhaust. Waiting on the Berk or Cattman to see which i like.

Love them. Have not had any complaints. They were great in the winter with the snow and ice and the downpours i've driven in. Very good traction when i'm getting on it with the nice weather we've had. Price was steep. A little less then $1,000 for them including mounting and everything. But very please and I do recommend them.

Looks Great! Love How The Profile Attitude Of The Car Changes From Being A Mild, Laid Back Sedan To An Agressive Sports Sedan Just With The Stillen Front Lip....

The rear wing is my favorite part. The new grill has that little Triangle thing at the top/middle that reminds me of the Pontiac emblem. Looks good, overall, how is it that your tail pipe is lower on the left, did you back into a curb?

use a hairdryer, and fising wire.

heat the letters, then pry them off with the fishing wire (even dental floss will work, but not as strong.)

you might need "goo gone" to remove the excess glue stuck on the car.

The nissan emblem was the hardest, you really need to heat that sucker up, to melt all the adhesive. I used dental floss, about 4 containers of it. I thought it would be gentler, but it really isn't strong. Goo Gone is a must and then you'll want to really wax or polish up where they were. In some lighting you'll see the shadow of them but its nothing thats really noticeable.

I used hairdryer but no fishing line. I just simply pryed it with my fingers. Course they were sore afterwards but Im sure fishing line would work. On teh Nissan emblem I actually used a flat blade screw driver but you have to be VERY VERY careful. No scratches to gouges!! Looks clean and mean.
