Stillen Bodykit Feedback

kielbasa16

Thanks Econ. I can only speak to the quality of the bumper. I was warned by a few people that have tried it to stay away from the bumper, but Stillen assured me that the issues with fitment had been resolved. Its my favorite bumper out there so I bit the bullet. As has been said, the two corner pieces right up by the headlights come as seperate pieces which is annoying, but my body shop did a great job making it unnoticeable. I am keeping a close eye on that area to see if the paint develops any hairline cracks, but so far so good. The only spots where the fitment is a little off is right under the headlights (theres a tiny gap). On my black Z I can get away with this without noticing it. Also, this bumper is very flexible. Its not as solid as the stock piece, not sure what its made of. Last thing I will say is that I am going to try to avoid removing and reinstalling this bumper unnecessarily. I had to take it off to swap out the mesh grill for a new one and I feel like if I had to do it many more times the fitment would deteriorate, but I may just be being paranoid. Anyway, I love the bumper 100 times more than stock and I love its exclusivity. Heres a picture

Fantastic bumper, second to me only to the Fujimura but they have a similar appearance. Great pics, it looks awesome on your Z.

I think because the car is black, it looks really good... it looks a little to aggressive and body-kit-ish.

I have too heard the horror stories about the Stillen body parts, but from my dealings with their lip... I never had any problems.

Other than it falling off of course. :-/

I agree, go for it Phelan! I havent put too many miles on my Stillen yet, but no issues yet (fingers crossed).

Damn that picture makes me glad I ordered mine. Should be finished, shipped to me, and installed on my car in 8-10 weeks.

Just trying to be patient......

I'm also really feeling that hood, small subtle vents. I think I would prefer them further back on the hood tho.

OMGWTFBBQ

... what vents? Isn't that an OEM/OEM style hood with hood latches?

Jjaden

Hmm I just figured it was a vented hood. What are hood latches? I'm not familiar with them.

Quick! Somebody put an intercooler on that car!

Looks sick man, especially since your Z is black. Serously need to get something to fill in that area there though, and an intercooler would be perfect (of course along w/ a TT)!

Thanks for the compliments happy. The grill is more transparent in pictures than in person, the one I had before this was worse. I agree though, a turbo and intercooler would be best!
