STILLEN 370Z Urethane Fascia - Sneak Peek - In Development

Got that right! Needs a longer nose and smaller ducts.

Kyle@STILLEN

In comparison to the factory nose this is actually anch or so longer. Also we did kick around the idea of smaller ducts (which are what's behind the cardboard) and they just looked too wimpy. Also the primary goal is increasing the amount of air through the car and as someone mentioned those large openings on the sides are perfect for additional coolers .

ZKindaGuy

So instead of small wimpy it now looks excessively large and obstrusive?

Instead of slapping something onto the cowling why don't you try just try a series of cuts of the cowling itself with some added molded edge-lines entending inward from the cut openings to the cowling backside to give it some smoothness and make it look like the cowling was injected that way to begin with? When you want to revise the design of something you don't always have to add something....instead you can actually go more simple and take something away like I suggest and still get the same functionality but with a much more natural and streamlined look.....not something that looks like it was just slapped on which destroys the entire natural curved line of the cowling.

I have to say that looking at many of the designs of the ground effects from the majority of the 3rd-party manufacturers it is clear and evident that the 3rd-party design engineers don't know how to leverage the natural design of the car itself and instead always approach the design by just slinging stuff onto the car that completely disturbs the natural design lines the car was intended to have....which leads to the viewer's eye to just focus on the obstrusive slung-on bling but never visualizing the car as an entire whole....

I suggest that you stop this particular revision and go back to rethinking it instead of pushing out something which will have less of an appeal than what I am suggesting...

Kyle@STILLEN

Judging by how many phone calls and emails we get on a daily basis from people who can't wait to purchase this fascia...I would say that this fascia has quite a lot of appeal.

But thank you for your input. Once the complete kit is finished perhaps your opinion will change.

This will please many who always preferred the 350Z front end.

I also WILL Defer judgment until I can see some fitment in the intake area, but what a fabulous job.

Thanks, Stillen, for the preview!

Will have to see it painted. Not quite sure about it -- almost looks like it'd be more at home on a 350.

as of now i am liking the front end, i woud be interested in option of adding the fangs but im not sure. I guess i have to see how it looks first. defintely like the air ducts, its aggressive which is something i hoped would be incorporated in the thought process behind the build, and it looks like it was soo thank you for listening stillen!

I honestly am just waiting for the right lip. I think the stock fascia looks great and think the right lip kit is just going to look tops. I do like the Mine's but at this point I'm not sold on carbon fiber and can think of a number of other things to drop $1200 on.

Now i just finished making a post about most of the 370z body kits being rice but this i like...except for the ducts...they r abit to big. Is there a price range on this? I need a new from fascia since my gf messed up my stock one.

G Fo12ce

I think it looks pretty good.

My only suggestion (not that it looks terrible now) would be to maybe get rid of the area in the upper air-dam that is a design element on the stock bumper. It's that section the license plate is normally mounted too, unless that is needed to cover the crash beam or something.

Let people who are going to run the front plate buy your plate bracket that attaches to the tow hook mount and everyone else will have more room for intercoolers or intake ducting.

If you keep it please tell me you guys are going to paint it satin or flat black when you show the finished sample

something is telling me the finished sample is going to be red...iiunno why, but something is telling me that

Kyle@STILLEN

You are correct. We have kept that center section because the crash beam is right behind it. That section actually hugs right around the foam on top and bottom...

Red370

I like the way this looks, with the fangs inserted with duct functionality, I think this will be a great addition to my Z, the front opening looks a bit large, but I think the fangs would close it up and make the piece look great.
