Trying to move on now...

We made a few tweaks to the mold to make sure that everything fit perfectly and it's all good. Now we're just making a couple of fixtures so that we can drill the mounting holes in the exact locations every time and so that you guys don't have to do it. Also, we're working on the instructions for the installation and the blending of that line.

Don't try to be coy Kyle, you're not fooling anyone

Do you think you'll be shipping stuff out next week best case scenario?

Skirts look pretty good, the wing IMO doesn't flow with the car, it's too flat or something, I'm sure it's functional, but it looks like a workbench.

370Z JT · 04-03-2010, 02:26 PM

interesting...cant wait to see it color-matched.

DannyGT · 04-03-2010, 03:39 PM

Congratulation on making the nicest side skirt out! Extremely clean and surprisingly minimalist considering how aggressive the front end has been shown. I really like it!

The wing, absolutly hideous...I feel like we can have a picnic on that table.

Also, any reason why the Z is driving around without the front strut bar? I think you guys have said the SC clears but there isnt a single picture confirming this?

Josh@STILLEN · 04-03-2010, 03:46 PM

It clears, just hasn't been put back on. They were doing a lot of things like instructions and pieces were coming on and off, just never got put back on. Don't worry..

Glad you like the skirts..

simota1 · 04-03-2010, 04:38 PM

i think i just found me the perfect skirts

im willing to wait for these.....

ZPirate · 04-03-2010, 04:38 PM

I like the side skirts too. And the spoiler at the top of the hatch.

LateralG'z · 04-05-2010, 11:20 PM

Please post some new pics of the final product

skirts look good, but dont look aftermarket enough to justify any cost, ya know? i really do love how they look, but paying for something that most people will just mistake as factory seems odd. im not advocating some crazy ricer look, but see what im getting at?

all the same, it looks good. cant wait for some finished pics of all 3 pieces on the Z!

Well, I finally saved up and decided to go for the stillen 3 piece kit. I was skeptical at first because when I received the stillen front fascia and side skirts i noticed they were made of a very flexible rubber and are thicker/heavier then the stock pieces. In the past I was used to more rigid lighter material ie: fiberglass or even plastic. After speaking with the auto body shop they said rubber requires a little extra prep work to get the proper primer to adhere to the rubber because of the oil in the rubber, but it would not be a big deal. After installed and mounted the flexibility was no longer an issue as I thought it would be (but still not as hard as the factory plastic). The middle bottom area of the fascia was left as the original rubber. If you are considering this and are concerned either about the fitment or the rubber material all I can say is don't, because it goes together fine and the paint matching and quality are perfect. The only real modification is they have to replace the windshield washer reservoir with the one that comes with the kit.
The old stock reservoir has two connectors to it, one is a sensor to let you know when you're low and the other is for the pump. The new reservoir does not come with the "empty" sensor so you won't get the dummy light when you are low on fluid. Also the reservoir is about 1/4 smaller than the stock.
My body shop gave me a 6 year warranty on their work and offered to do touch ups for free if I get any small pits/dings in the front area from road gravel etc.... Something you may want to ask your body shop prior to having the work done. The body shop I went to is family owned and gave me a better price than the chain franchise and it was just a better experience over the corporate thing... If you are a DIY type then you could probably have all 3 pieces painted for around $450 bucks and do the install yourself, if you wanted to save a buck. My price out the door was $800 not including the cost of the parts themselves. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Looks great - and nice review. Do you plan to change the spoiler? I love Stillen's fascia/skirts - but not the wing. If you're in Socal, PM me the shop info. Thx...
