53424, Those with stillen fronts please help.
Posted by jerseystyle1, Jul-23-03 06:35 AM
Had to install my stillen bumper yesterday (unpainted), I was backing out of a lot and ripped half of my stocker offx( . Anyway, there seems to be a lot of sag underneath the lights and the drivers side doesn't seem to line up right with the fog light due to the sag. Anyway to brace this? I left the bumper thingy on, but I took off the foam piece. Is this the reason for the sag? FYI: I used zip ties instead of screws for the holes underneath the center of the headlights. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have same problem... although it's not horribly noticable. I haven't gotten around to looking for a solution though...

Stillen is a knock off. They take the front from Street Scenes and sell it with their name on it for a jacked up price. Or so I've been told. Also, I haven't seen anyone else making cheap replicas. I ordered my street scenes bumper and held it up next to the one from stillen, and they were exactly the same, fyi.

As i was putting on my blitz bumper it was hitting the re-inforcement bar. Most people remove it all together, I cut mine, but its a pain in the ass. The blitz also has a sag under the lights too. piece of fiberglass sh't.

I've had the Stillen bumper on mine since late '98 and has been the same way ever since.. I believe it has to do with the way they are molded.

As for the manufacturer, it had been offered exclusively from Stillen for a number of years until it recently became available under the Street Scene name...

The part that bolts up to the car on the driver's side under the headlight broke off, whic caused the whole driver's side to hang off.
