I also WILL Defer judgment until I can see some fitment in the intake area, but what a fabulous job. Thanks, Stillen, for the preview!

Will have to see it painted. Not quite sure about it -- almost looks like it'd be more at home on a 350.

as of now i am liking the front end, i woud be interested in option of adding the fangs but im not sure. I guess i have to see how it looks first. defintely like the air ducts, its aggressive which is something i hoped would be incorporated in the thought process behind the build, and it looks like it was soo thank you for listening stillen!

I honestly am just waiting for the right lip. I think the stock fascia looks great and think the right lip kit is just going to look tops. I do like the Mine's but at this point I'm not sold on carbon fiber and can think of a number of other things to drop $1200 on.

Now i just finished making a post about most of the 370z body kits being rice but this i like...except for the ducts...they r abit to big. Is there a price range on this? I need a new from fascia since my gf messed up my stock one.

I like the way this looks, with the fangs inserted with duct functionality, I think this will be a great addition to my Z, the front opening looks a bit large, but I think the fangs would close it up and make the piece look great.

I think it looks pretty good.
My only suggestion (not that it looks terrible now) would be to maybe get rid of the area in the upper air-dam that is a design element on the stock bumper. It's that section the license plate is normally mounted too, unless that is needed to cover the crash beam or something. Let people who are going to run the front plate buy your plate bracket that attaches to the tow hook mount and everyone else will have more room for intercoolers or intake ducting. If you keep it please tell me you guys are going to paint it satin or flat black when you show the finished sample

I'm in for more pictures, I am in the ehhh-I-dunno boat. Here is my thoughts..
I think its actually really well thought out but I think its almost 'too function' and I mean that because when all the openings are overly big and exagerrated - to me - it comes off like that front bumper on the eclipse of the FF movie. A tad to boxy. ...with that said, I think its got perfect overhang, I would love to see it with those functional fangs because that might add the 'difference' it needs but I would play around with slightly more overhang for slightly smaller openings and have the openings on the side meet with the lines of the fender in that nismo sort of way. Think Nismo meets Zele, and you got your new Stillen front bumper. Functional and sexy!
