thanks!

Hey mike have you noticed the bubbling under the headlights on the stillen bumper?

Mike · 05-25-2010, 10:14 PM

Yes, believe me. I see it. The bodyshop did what they could with it, but I can see the flaw

snapping · 05-25-2010, 10:33 PM

so even your body shop couldnt fix it?

travisjb · 05-25-2010, 11:31 PM

Hey mike, if you get sick of the flaws on the front fascia, I'll take it off your hands

Car's looking great!... I was thinking about what it needs aesthetically at this point and all I can come up with is maybe sideskirts?... I think they'd flow nicely from the lip on the fascia and would help balance out the slammed to the ground look... what do you think? btw, any clearance issues?

My body shop is having problems with the same thing, I had a 1/2 inch gap under the driver side headlight. They weren't too happy with the fitment.

Dude this is all making me very nervous about the Stillen fascia. I was all but sure this was the fascia for me. First the 3-piece design and now poor fitment with bubbling??

Mike I like everything but the.............

Sheeit, that thing should be illegal it's so damn nice. Wish I had been at Zdayz to see it in person.

Well unfortunately I have the same problem with my Stillen roof wing and Rear spoiler. Both parts came to me flawed, and I'm returning them both and getting my money back. I do not like the urethane. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I'm going to stay away from urethane for good.

Yeah, I have been thinking side skirts too.

The clearance issues mostly are with the tiny rubber flaps in front of the front tires. They scrape on everything, as they are only 1" off the ground. They are wearing down nicely though.

The other issue is the one noted above with my work parking lot and the exhaust scraping. I can't believe the bumper doesn't and the exhaust does, but the angle from the up ramp to the level part to the down ramp parts of the speed hump is just a little too much.

Your front wheel splash spoilers are easily removed. Just stay away from deep standing water or just slow down. They aren't needed.

yes, but they do provide a little aero help, and soon enough, they will grind themselves down to the perfect clearance level. As long as I know what is rubbing on bumps, potholes, waves in the road, etc, i don't really care.

I think you should get some new rims, the S-tune parts are the ugliest things you could put on the Z. If you got some real nismo rims and powder coated them it would look SICK

These are actually my favorite rims for it, my track wheels. Custom widened 18" 350Z Rays wheels. I think they really go with the car, even better than they did on the 350.

How much did it cost to get them widened?
