Why the big price difference between the kit for the Stillen fascia and the one for the stock fascia? Looking at the pictures of the kit they are the same.

I didn't know how they mounted with the fangs for their bumper until I ordered the fangs last night and looked at the pictures. The fangs have circular openings on the back side that the hose attaches to, so no bracket on that side of the kit. However, when I added in the fangs, it was actually more expensive for me.

We have not looked into the G37 yet.
Realistically, if you have a G37 and/or a Nismo 370Z, the STILLEN fascia kit will be the one to go with. The backing plates and hoses will all work fine, it's just a matter of getting the mounting bracket for intake to work. The big problem we're having when looking at the Nismo, is making it look right. And to be honest, we haven't looked at the G's yet. The instructions are PACKED with pictures: http://www.stillen.com/product_files/308360~inst.pdf |

http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...tml#post101626 the challenge is having someone develop a kit for ease in installing or so you don't have to be creative about it... maybe the guys at Z speed can recreate their undercover tray/shroud with a couple scoops or something... making a statement to just buy the stillen fascia kit is a bit too much imo...

Yes, sorry if I gave the impression of "just buy our fascia." Definitely not what I was trying to convey.
The primary reason we don't have an answer for the Nismo's or G's yet is because we have been sitting on these for quite some time and wanted to get them out. We actually completed engineering back in October, did our testing at Fontana then have been waiting to launch them until we had parts on the shelves. We will look at the Nismo's and G's next but I did not want to hold up the release for those with stock or STILLEN fascia's. And like I mentioned earlier, if you are looking to fit this kit to something other than a STILLEN or factory fascia, I would probably go the direction of the STILLEN fascia kit, other wise there is a good chance the additional brackets won't fit your application. Also, we have tested these on O.E. base and sport model brakes as well as our AP Racing big brake kit. I do not see any reason as to why they wouldn't work with other big brake kits but we can not guarantee fitment on other kits. Quote:

I can't see any reason why it would be an issue with others, but I'll be verifying they work with stoptechs soon enough.
