Stillen Front Bumper (v2) Detailed Pictures

wretched_z

FYI on the sideskirts ( I got them) the whole part that runs inside the door is held on by doulbe sided tape and when the temps here got above 95 the tape started letting loose and would not stay due to the weight of the side skirts. I had to take it back to the body shop and they ended up using epoxy to hold it together. Aslo the sideskirts were a little warped out of the box. I hope your front bumper fits better than mine, the body shop I take my cars to said it was one of the worest fitting bumpers they had ever seen. You have to completely remove the washer bottle to install this bumper, I've been sending pm's to kyle and josh for over a month about the the supposed smaller washer bottle kit for the bumper but they wont reply back.

Sorry for hijacking your thread.

How warped are the sideskirts is it something that won't go away? I really want to buy these sideskirts but am afraid of the flaws.

The double sided tape just kept coming unattached it was bad enough that it kept the side skirt away from the body, I'll try to get some of the pics my body shop took and pm you them.

Im very satisfied with the look of the of the bumper and side skirts but not with the fitment. Good luck with the bumper it will look good!

Wretched- I'm sorry for not getting back to your PM's. I'll be completely honest that I'm really bad about PM's. Email and phone calls are usually the best way to get a hold of me, on most sites I actually turn PM's off. Unfortunately I don't always have enough time in the day to get to the PM's and if I don't do it immediately it's just too easy to forget.

The windshield washer bottles are in stock so please feel free to call in and we'll get one sent out for you right away!

In regards to the 3M tape not adhering properly I can pretty much guarantee that either the part or the panel was not properly prepped...We use the exact same 3M tape on our car and it is the same 3M tape used to hold on the Nissan 370Z logos and door trims that you see on vehicle's. It is very durable and strong stuff. In order to properly prep the panel you do need to sand the panel that you plan on sticking the tape to. You need to scuff it up enough to get rid of the shine and then apply the adhesion promoter packet which is essentially a liquid glue. It will help bond the tape to the scuffed paint.

To prep the urethane you must do the same thing. Scuff the surface to get rid of the shine. To scuff either surface simply use a scotch brite pad. It doesn't need to be sanded or anything and it doesn't take much work.

To the OP- I'm sorry that your ears aren't matching up perfectly. We have a jig that the guys use to drill the bolt holes and it's supposed to line up the part before the drilling. I'm concerned though that the guys might not be keeping the ears with the fascia after the drilling is completed and instead just putting the ears in one area and the fascia in another then grabbing one of each when an order comes in...I will have to look at how this procedure is being handled.

Thanks for the feedback and I look forward to seeing your final thoughts!

I'm interested in buying the sideskirts but have a couple concerns. First, some people I have talked to tell me they have bubbling and or warping. How can I be sure I won't have the same problem. Second, I like to install things myself and don't want to test fit the sideskirts and just take it to get painted. Does the sideskirts require and modifications before installing?
Thanks
