I just discovered ABS dynamics

Hey all, I was looking around and stumbled on to ABS Dynamics' website, I had obviously heard of them before and kind of knew what they do but didnt know all the parts they made. Basically their front and rear lip for the maxima is a copy of the stillen kit right? I know its actual plastic though, like hard plastic and the stillen kit, for a lot more money, is urethane which i can understand being a lot better. I'm wondering how much the stillen parts beat these by, i'm not going to go and run over speed bumps at 60 mph and take the car over jumps where it'd get cracked, but do they hold up pretty well in normal driving? Or is it better to look for a used stillen kit or hold off for an AE kit?

Generally the Stillen will fit better. Some people have had no issues and others have had big issues as far as fitment on the ABS products go. I think it's just luck of the draw. The Stillen is consistent quality.

You should be fine with an ABS rear. I wouldn't get one for the front lip, being it's more prone to getting hit. Unlike the polyurethane, a little hit could shatter your lip easy.

I have an ABS Dynamics lip, no probs ever...Slight heating was needed to fit a corner, but nothing major. I do highway driving so I get a lot of stones, I've scrapped a few times already...It is really high quality.
