STILLEN 370Z Urethane Fascia - Sneak Peek - In Development

ZKindaGuy

So instead of small wimpy it now looks excessively large and obstrusive?

Instead of slapping something onto the cowling why don't you try just try a series of cuts of the cowling itself with some added molded edge-lines entending inward from the cut openings to the cowling backside to give it some smoothness and make it look like the cowling was injected that way to begin with? When you want to revise the design of something you don't always have to add something....instead you can actually go more simple and take something away like I suggest and still get the same functionality but with a much more natural and streamlined look.....not something that looks like it was just slapped on which destroys the entire natural curved line of the cowling.

I have to say that looking at many of the designs of the ground effects from the majority of the 3rd-party manufacturers it is clear and evident that the 3rd-party design engineers don't know how to leverage the natural design of the car itself and instead always approach the design by just slinging stuff onto the car that completely disturbs the natural design lines the car was intended to have....which leads to the viewer's eye to just focus on the obstrusive slung-on bling but never visualizing the car as an entire whole....

I suggest that you stop this particular revision and go back to rethinking it instead of pushing out something which will have less of an appeal than what I am suggesting...

Judging by how many phone calls and emails we get on a daily basis from people who can't wait to purchase this fascia...I would say that this fascia has quite a lot of appeal.

But thank you for your input. Once the complete kit is finished perhaps your opinion will change.

Kyle - nice design and I'm sure it'll be a quality piece. Looking forward to seeing a few 370's with this fascia on them.

Im guessing the option of getting the bumper as one peice (dont mind paying shipping premium) is out of the question Kyle?

Obviously we can't please everyone.

Nice product btw!

Agreed ZKindaGuy... You do realize you are arguing aesthetics, right? Do you think for some reason doing car shows gives you some sort of authority on the subject?

Everyone is different, we all have different taste. You like the more subtle stuff, others like other stuff.

You're having a hissy fit because it doesn't look like what you want...

What are you doing lol...are you friends with XZIBIT?!? I hear he does car shows too.

Just saw this thread (yeh I have been under a rock the last month) and the related fang thread. I was liking this the more I read as the developement was coming along and then the final pics. I like a lot. Next on my wish list as I am still paying off the last goodies I purchased. Great job Kyle&Josh! In for Mike & Raul' pic/video and review.

Speaking of this, have any of you seen this months ad in Modified and IT? Stillen FTW!

Speaking of which, I like the way the 'finished' product looks on those adverts. I think it's cleaner than OEM, which I like. When it comes to detailing, sometimes less is better IMHO.

Keep up the good work!

Zkindaguy, you've put your input, opinion and two cents in this front fascia thread. Thanks. I'm sure Kyle will look into your suggestion. Now if you need to provide them more info, please feel free to pm them with your ideas. There's no need clutter up this thread.

The kit looks great. We can't wait to see it painted and finalized pictures. Again, I give you guys props putting countless hours and dedication developing this front fascia for us 370Z owners.
