Thank you,
If we could figure out the saggin issue, I have to admit that Stillen front lip has got to be the best and cleanest looking front lip for Z. I love mine. Now I am going to Home Depot to get some Aluminium Embrace to prevent sagging. I am thinking of using Glue Nails...What does everyone think? |

to sag. You are less flexible to sagging because you painted yours an if it sags your paint will probably crack. |

Ill be planning my anti-sag kit this weekend haha, I do not want to use the support rods, most likely will go the aluminum + epoxy, it just seems that is adding weight to a sag prone area might avoid the middle sagging but will the whole lip slat forward over time...hmmm, which would make the support rods necessary..

It was starting to sag already... re formed it with a heat gun. I curved the front of it with my grinder too so it forms right to the curves of the lip in the front. I can always redo it if it does not work. I post a few pics later.

Just an update on my fix. The aluminum strut came un-epoxied today. Pretty sure it had to do with me smacking a curb (or as the English say, 'kerb') a few days ago. Too much flex for the epoxy to hold.
Since it's about time to park it for the winter, I'll pull the bumper and come up with a better fix during the dark months. |

I have to say, after having problems with Stillen more than a decade ago (300ZX parts) that they have not changed a bit. This is the same thing they have always done, nothing is their fault, blame the customer, delay, delay, delay...
