Just got my Stillen front lip from Avalon..it's a new design ?

I was expecting the same boring $tealin' lip like my old one with claw like flairs that came out. Looked good, kinda plain. But I opened it and DAMN !

This time it came with instructions, bolts, tape, AND it is a totally different design ? The claw-like things fold downward and it has 2 air dams! It looks HOT! I hope it's the right kind for my '95..

Does anyone know if Stillen has upgraded their designs ? Avalon has yet to reply.

Ever since my lip flew off on the highway I have been waitin for the new one before I get my 60k tune-up. I have 60,700. Well, my dad says he has gone 64k miles before the tune-up, and my oil is only a dark golden color not jet black so I can hold out for a little longer

Caffeines rule!

Craig, how much did you pay for the lip? Maybe instead of sending it back to Avalon for a trade, I might buy it off you?

mistakes happen man!

I just messed up one order.. shipped front pads instead of rear. I rarely mess up, though

Sometimes items are mispackaged on Stillen's behalf (ie 5th gen bar in a 4th gen box).

I know a guy there who has his own import club and loves my Maxima, and has yet to see it like this. I just want to see the on his face. He offered me to be President of my division last time.

Dan and Greg It is your lip dan. Looks EXACTLY like yours, Redmaxpa007's, ect. Avalon said stillen mix-matched some. I just hope they reimburse me for the freight $

Oh, sorry I forgot about you bro !

Avalon told me if I send it back with the invoice the freight will of course be covered back and forth by them.

But you can order one from them for $177 which was the amount i'd sell it to joO 4 anyway

Re: Just got my Stillen front lip from Avalon..it's a new design ?

There is no new design. We had 40 + parts go out when Craig's did. The boxes are marked correctly and the parts inside may not have been correct. We had three orders this week, misboxed by the manufacturer.

This happens occasionally. As for ti happeningall the time - I do hundreds of orders per week and last year including this year we have had less than 5 parts boxed wrong.

Regards
