I have a 96 GXE i about to do a 97-99 front conversion, and thinking of getting the 97-99 Stillen front lip, just wondering if those would fit good on my 96??? I need a lot of comment on this before i waste my $200s on the lip.

 

Stillen makes two types of lips, one for the 95-96 and one for the 97-99.

 

Here it is: http://www.stillen.com/Sportscars_de...&id=316&page=1

 

I personally like the 97-99 lip better then the 95-96 version

 

Yeah they fit perfectly fine, see sig...

 

Yeah i kno, but i like the 97 - 99 lip better, its have a lil more style, to me.

 

95-96 style owns. everybody is converting to 97-99 so the 95-96 are more rare

 

Being 'rare" doesnt mean it looks better.

Gremlins and Pacers are rare as well, but id take my maxima over them anyday,.... with the 97-99 bumper

 

I would have to agree. Alot of people are converting over to the 97-99. I would agree that the 97-99 looks better by comparison, but I will be getting the 95-96 Stillen body kit when I come around to it. You dont see them very often. When set up real nice it looks very good as well. One day I may convert to the 97-99 version though. It all depends on how deep the pockets are. But for now 95-96 lip all the way.

 

i say it looks better.

 

No you can't do it without extensive modification.

 

IMO a 95-96 bumper/stillen lip/97-99 grill looks the best. I kinda wish i hadn't gotten the 97-99 bumper.

 

that is what i have

 

Ive seen it done, but I prefer the 97-99 Bumper w 97-99 Stillen lip

 

Ive always like the look of the 95-96 grill. To me the 97-99 grill reminds me of a Malibu

 

oh damn he went there..

95-96 stillen front lip > 97-99 ... and for some reason the 95-96 front bumper looks like a bulldog from the side..

 

Does anyone have a pic of a 95/96 with a 97/99 stillen lip?

 

At first, I wanted to convert to 97-99 front end, but then decided against it for the fact that it is what everyone else is doing... so I kept my 95-96 front, gave it cefiro lights and now awaiting the 95-96 Stillen lip... wo0ho0!

a nicely done up 95-96 > a comon 95-96 with 97-99 front swap!

 

Somone on here does have a 97-99 lip on a 95/96 bumper. I forgot his name though.

Here ya go and enjoy. There has got to be a way to secure it better on the bumper though. I noticed in the middle I can see a crack where I can see the ground between the spoiler and the bumper in the middle. Instead of the 95/96 lip if you want try this one. I dont think it is a stillen lip though. I think it is made from redmax or Paradox. Its the carbonfiber 97-99 stillen like lip.

It doesnt suit the 95/96 IMO...

 

Its an Ionic Dynamics CF lip.
He bought that off another member becasue it was damaged, he then trimmed it up to fit his byumper.

 

If you do the 97-99 front conversion youll have no prob's using stillens 97-99 front lip.. with your stock bumper you'll need to do some modification to get the 95-96 bumper to work with the 97-99 lip.

I have a 97 front conversion also, and i love it!

 

wait 1 more week. ionic dynamics is coming out with new 95-96 lip...

....after that then decide if u wanna do 97 convertion or not...

 

where did you hear this?

 

From Jose.
He's creating a CF lip for the 95-96 and Im Im sure he's also making it for his FRP kit as well.
Look in the G/D section.

 

how much is that 96-99 front conversion? I need a fog for my 95 but can't find it at all so I may consider just getting the 97's in there instead, less hassle....

 

It's not less hassle. There's 95 fogs available all the time in the FS section. If I was you I would convert from 95 - 96.

 

I don't care for the 97 front at all just seen a couple pics and I prefer the 95-96 front instead......

 

i converted

 

95-96 front bumper look is not bad looking when it lowered, painted black mesh grill, and license plate off, and dark color car, looks really great "to me" w/out ani lip. But around where i live, Dallas TX, there isnt much maxima with body or lip kit, all i seen is clear bumper light and rims. So i just want something different with all the EG, EK, 240SX, and etc....I'll post up some pics of my car soon.

But i still wanted that 97-99 conversion because the urathane lip look pimpin compared to the 95-96. And right now GD have deal for 97-99 lip, rear and sides for realllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiii good price.

thanks for everyone opinion by the way, appreciated

 

if the carbon fiber lips comes out for the 95-96 i am getting it

 

he has a 99 lip on the 96 i think it looks pretyt nice

 

Does it fit perfectly???

 

Does the 97 lip fit perfectly on the 96 front???

 

NO its not a perfect fit.

 

Whats the adjustment then?

 

Have you not seen a 95-96 bumper compared to a 97-99?



The 97-99 lip fits inside the openings on the bumper.
