STILLEN 370Z Urethane Fascia - Sneak Peek - In Development

jmlenz · 02-26-2010, 08:29 PM

just curious...bumpers have always been roughly the same size so why the change in fascia design? Our bumper is no different dimensionally than any other fascia you produce so why is there now a push to fit the fascia in a non-freight sized package? Did freight prices skyrocket?

Actually the dimensions of the 370z fascia are quite a bit different than the 350s. They are nearly the same height and similar width (side to side) but the length (front to back) is substantially different. To figure out the dimensional weight you have to add the heightx2 plus the lengthx2 plus the width. Factory fascia shipping weight is around 172 but our fascia with the corners removed is 160 which is the limit for fedex ground shipping.

Kyle > OK lets hope we can all do the home "mold" job without screwing anything up lol. I assume you will retain the factory indentation for the Nissan burger (wish you didnt) so would it be a huge issue to fill that in with urethane filler, same as this body line you talk of?

Nope, the Nissan burger is gone...We find that most people who want to install a body kit also want to debadge their vehicle. No point really in making it look really unique and different and still having label telling everyone what it is...it's a lot more fun when people ask!

jmlenz.. I do have a rendering I can show.. it follows the kit pretty good, but not an actual photo.. perhaps this will shed some light on the design..

Please excuse the fact that the graphic is in use for another purpose.. but it's what I have now to show..

Josh, if you have it I think it would be good to show another rendering without the black along the lower chin spoiler. Curious to see what it looks like paint matched.

^ best news Ive heard today! That fascia is looking good though.

CBRich · 02-27-2010, 09:51 AM

Love the sneak peek picture. Maybe I missed it or no one has asked but have you guys looked at the power difference using this with the G3 intakes?

azn370z · 02-27-2010, 09:57 AM

Bumper looks better than the earlier pics. I don't need a bumper though because I bought a lip.

I like the sideskirts. When is it coming out?

That is kind of a hard test to perform without having a dyno inside of a wind tunnel...Being serious, not joking.

Realistically this will have a ram air type of effect while you're driving at speed so without question it will add power. However the only way to truly find out how much power, accurately, is to setup a wind tunnel that can increase wind speed as the simulated road speed increases. Other wise you aren't accurately gauging the "ram air" effect.

The fascia and rockers will be coming out very soon. The rockers (side skirts) will probably be coming out in about two to three weeks. We will have the first production fascia by Monday afternoon, the mold was complex and took longer to clean than expected, and from there we will on the instructions for molding that body line and make sure that everything is 100% before releasing it. I think that will take us about a week or so.

RCZ · 02-27-2010, 09:52 AM

That ended up looking better than I expected! Can't wait to get it!
