Today my Stillen front lip arrived from www.avalonracing.net . I was told it was going to be the "aero" lip but it turned out to be the less liked touring lip..

Well it's here and it does look pretty decent IMO. I would have really liked to see a aero lip made but ohh well.. Guess you can't win em all.

Heres the pics of it up-painted. Anyone good at photoshop willing to paint it? I would appreciate it.

YEEE HAWWWW...........

Looks good ole buddy.


BTW what the helll was that pic of your manifold upside down??

 

Looks good emax... with the 2K2 front I'll take the Touring instead of the Aero.

 

looking damn good as always

i usually dont like that kind of lip.. because of those silly wing like things on the side.. but anything looks good on your car

 

I think and aero lip would look better but I think once its painted it will look good.

 

+3 mpg from all that downforce

 

I really like the front view. But I don't really like the side wingie thingies. Again good job Ethan

 

That's PHAT... Can't wait to see it when its painted..

 

Im with jeff on this one.......even though I hate to say it.

 

ethan why dont you have a body shop shave off the little wing guys on the side, or sand em off yourself..?? not hard at all.. and would look 110% better.

i was really hoping stillen come out with the aero kit for the 2k2s, but oh well, i guess its better than nothing. ethan, i agree with thebigsadler, shave the sides and it would definatly look better imo.

I have been thinking about modifying the edges my self but it will be tricky to do. The insides bulge out so I can not shave the gills off. I thought about filling the gills in and trimming the edges so that they are flush with the front. But this will involve a good amount of working with a questionable end result. I think I am going to just leave the kit as is.



Padsy what do you mean? Pic of my manifold upside down? Ohh... Your probably talking about my 350Z manifold swap, hehe.



And fellas thanks for all you input and kind words.

If any photo shops wizz's would be willing to play around witht e edges that would be awesome too!

 

Yeah, I heard about that.....I'm assuming everything went ok??

 

You still on Russ's site or something?? LOL :laughing:

 

Didnt i say stop modding that thing!?

Looks good man, I dont know if I can photoshop that to well, maybe someone else can give it a whirl..

 

You know its the damn'est thing.....I cant open that page anymore

 

the site is gone.. thats why

 

Thanks Captian Obvious.......

 

i dont like it

it doesnt look bad but i wouldnt want it on my car. i liked the subtlety of the aero lip.

 

...thats Mr. Captain Obvious to you...

 

ahhhhhhhhhhh

you're just as scary as keving

 

 

wow man that looks sharp
I can't wai til I get my BK

 

Some quick photoshop attempts with my (very)limited knowledge and experience with PS... color matching is hard!


and here's one without the gills

 

looks good

 

 

the front shot is sick, very nice!!! but those wingy things on the side...I dunno, they stand out and detract from the lines of the car WAY too much!

 

emax that looks great...like damax said, the front shot is sick

 

it SHOULD look something like this:

 

Definently!!! thats nice!

 

THAT is perfect!

If you aren't happy with the lip, can't you just send it back for the other one?

 

this one looks good.

get it painted & post up.

 

same thing. i just touched it up a little.

 

You know guys I ordered a aero lip not a touring lip.. And well this touring lip is really not doing it for me. I know in a few weeks the rest of you guys will get the real deal and I will be stuck here feeling like a moron with my ugly touring lip. Looks like I am gonna have to contact avalon and return this.. I am sure avalon will take good care of this matter.

 

i hope avalon will take good care of you. I think touring lip looks better than aero lip though

 

arrrrrrgh i cant afford a stock bumper.. i guess i just gotta repair and re-paint the ninja

 

hell yeah!

trust me..it'll look 100 times better once you paint it.

the side gills..well, since you can't use bondo on urethane, there isn't much you can do about it..get used to it!

 

I agree with Newman; the front shot looks good, but the side........ehhhhhhh.......

 

I think the problem is that the 2002 front bumper comes down lower than the 2k, so it throws the lines of the body off. That spoiler looked great on the 2k but on the 2k2 looks a bit too bulky and awkward. I'm sure there's a way to fill it, perhaps rivet sheet metal into the spaces and paint over it or something. Nothing is impossible, and i'm sure a competent body shop wouldn't charge too much either. Hopefully though, they will come through with their promise and put out a aero lip.

If not, I can live with it

 

Just talked to stillen and it looks like they have no plans to get a aero front lip made anytime soon for the 2002. So I decided this lip is definatly better then no lip. If in time a aero lip comes out maybe I will get it then.

BTW you probably think the lip looks bulky because it not painted, hehe. I think the lip is identical to the 2000 one minus the center cutout.
