Do you think that only having a Stillen front lip look good or bad?

 

many people have just the front lip and it looks fine, if you go here you see my point http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....threadid=37341

 

it looks fine, cheaper and it looks good with the splash guards too.

 

I would agree w/ all these guys. The car looks sweet w/ the front lip and mud guards. That's what I have on my car

 

Supa Lao, nice look nice and clean

 

thats what i have, i just put it on today in fact. cant really see the side/back from this angle, but you can get an idea (pic is in my sig)

How do you like the lip w/o rear spoiler?

 

I will have a spoiler sometime in the future, when i decide on one. but the lip looks really good. i think it brings the front of the car together more and drawn attention away from my ugly a** stock rims and the fact that i have no spoiiler. (just back in alot and you will be cool). basically, i think it looks good, with or without a spoiler

Adding that lip really wants me to drop the car. It looks like I have more wheel gap w/ the lip. I got the sprint springs sitting in my room, but I don't have money for shocks right now

 

I'm thinking about lowering but Im a little scareed about the front lip getting scraped. Now with the sprint springs , thats a 2 inch drop which is a lot. That means a lot of careful driving. Maybe H&R would be a little better because they are less of a drop.

 

I thought of getting H&R for ride quality. But for the price of the sprints and those being the lowest, you really can't beat that. Once I get those springs on, I have to watch out for everything. So far no scrapage yet

 

Does anybody know the cheapest place to get a stillen front lip for a 97 max, i don't want to go straight to stillen and get robbed!

 

Hey Dex..... nice pics... where did you get them????hmmmm



Dayle97SE- try phoung....gotrice.. he sells them for 169 plus shipping...and tax if you are in pa..


I think I might order mine this week..or next

 

Get it from Phuong (Gotrice). That's who I got mine from. Great guy.

 

I called Stillen on this issue. There price for the Front Lip is $350. Accroding to them, their Lip is made out of Polyurathane instead of fiber-glass. I hope for $169 by going through "Phoung" is the Poly option. I would hate to use Fiber-glass for this application.

If any of you have phoung's email, please slip it to me...

 

His lip is the same one you get from stillens. They are polyurethane (sp), not fiberglass. The new lip doesn't say stillens on it.

WTF!!!
when did you get the arrows on????? so niceee

 

i just got my lip repainted friday and friday night I screwed it up . I was going to my girls beach house and I did a nose dive in to her nice soft sand driveway. lip not so nice anymore.

 

Dude, that sucks. It's just a lil scratched on the bottom. No one would be able to see it. Just get it painted again

 

ohh yeah whats another 150 dollars.

 

Whoa...It cost you $150 to get it painted? It cost me $120 to get mine painted, and he put it on for free too

 

Where did you guys get it painted and installed? I have my lip in my garage, but I have no funds to paint it.

 

You know... a lip is the sort of area where you can learn to paint. Get yourself an airbrush, read a book or two, find a local body shop supply store where they like to chat, and go to it. If it's not on the car, you can just keep trying until you like the work and color match. If it comes out bad, just strip it with some reducer and start again. Don't be afraid to ask the guy at the store for a little extra tint in the shade(s) you need so you can play "johnny j body man" and blend it to get that perfect match you want.

I just went to this local body shop that my friend recommended. They painted his car twice, and it looked pretty good. He said he had to put in all this flex agent stuff, that way when I hit a curb, that the paint wouldn't crack and chip.

 

I got them last weekend...
all i need now is a front lip and a y-pipe...hmmm cough, cough

 

yeah but it will still crack, the flex is just the same thing they use on bumpers so becareful.

 

I just painted mine monday (yes, i went out, bought the paint, and did it myself, along with the valve cover). I have painted before so... anyway. It was really nice untill last night when the road bit me (I bottomed out). my car isnt even lowered. i guess i wont be going down that road anytime soon again.

PS: If you are gonna paint it yourself, 1 quart of paint, 1 quart of thinner, the flex additive w/ the hardener for the clear coat, and a gallon of reducer, all PPG paint, ran me $155.13, almost the price of the lip. so if this is all you are painting, take it somewhere and save yourself some money. If you are gonna paint the rest of the kit, maybe a wing and your hood, all this paint will cover that so its pretty much worth it.

ok i will shut up now

wouldn't the lip actually rub less with the car lowered since the front end would be stiffer and less susceptible to nose diving?

 

Not really. Since the car sits lower, you gotta watch out for ever drive way and pot hole in the road. You just have less ground clearance, and watch out for speed bumps.

 

Will a 97-99 front lip fit a '96 MAX

 

Nope, unless you got some custom work. You've got two options:
1) get a 97-99 front clip
2) just get the Stillen front lip for the 95/96.

 

Have you physically tried this or are you just estimating.. If you have tried this, where is the fit wrong besides the overhanging piece in the middle grill portion?

 

nope, not with out the 97 bumper

 

ohh comon , use your head, when you do a nose dive, its not the springs, its the road condition, like a pot hole or a drive way. In my case it was soft sand.

 

Actually, it IS the suspension. If you're going 60 and slam the brakes on a car with soft suspension, the car pitches forward. If you have a tighter suspension, there's less dive.

 

i can see where you are coming from but that is not enough pitch to scrape your lip when you have the stock setup. You still have a good 8" untill you nose dive.

 

Haaa!

 

hmm

 

Was it something I said?
