Poll: Anyone want A Stillen Eurathane FD3S body kit?
No, not another damn stupid poll... "LOL"
I went there (Stillen) this afternoon and the sales guy added it to the owner suggestion list. His says the owner doesn't like to make replicas, so most likey ->"IF"<- it ever happens it would be an original or some combination of...
What's the top 3 favorites Front Bumber, Rear Wing and body kits to e-mail him with?
I'm guessing:
'99-'01 J-Spec front bumber without license plate holder
Feed and KnightSports front bumber
RMagic/Border body kit

I like the FEED noses the best. A urethane one would be fantastic. I think that is a real opportunity for anyone that makes one. ALL the other ones seem to be fiberglass, which is not what I want on the nose of my car. I'd crack it up too quickly.
99 spec front end without the plate holder. Then the Feed front end would be my choice and if made in urethane, I'd be in on the first buy from the first batch made.

I would give the money right now to get the 99 Spec with out the plate holder. The Feed one is nice, but a lil on the agressive side for me.
Can they make factory J-Spec side skirts too? I would put a deposit on them right now! Please, Please, Please.

my favorite is still cwest bumper with mazdaspeed widebody fenders/skirts, like crashunit's car that GoRacer attached, but if it has to be one of those it would the 99 bumper, but im broke so it doesn't matter

Knowing Stillin since they are an established company in the industry they will not copy any of the bumpers. It will be some rendition or combination of parts from differnent kits but will not look llike anyone in particular.
I don't want a Stollen anything. Stillen doesn't know ****, most of the **** they say is theres is really just a rebadge ("stolen"), they charge crazy prices, and I wish people would just stop giving them money and thinking that they know what they're doing just because they advertise in Car & Driver. Ask my brother, ask any Z32 owner who really knows about their car about Stillen (there aren't that many Z owners that know much, though ... but my brother did swap a 98 Japanese VG30DETT into his 93 2+2, which only came NA in North American, in our driveway without a hitch.) Dumbasses. Ricer company basically. Those "stage" upgrades are rediculous. Big as stage numbers for minimal power gains. Since when is a single bolt on a complete stage? Come to think of it ... What the hell is a stage?

Stillen can make urethane body parts in-house. I have been to their facility a number of times and they are more than just a parts distributor. Smart customers always educate themselves with info from many sources before making purchases anyway.
Any nose they do MUST have two openings for oil coolers and a big opening for the radiator/IC. Brake ducts would be nice, too. And if they can fit in some driving lights, those would be a "nice to have" but definitely not as important as the cooling openings. They might want to test fit their design with some of the popular FMIC kits before they commit to a design. I know that at least one hood maker missed their market because their hoods were not compatible with many intakes and ICs.
I, too, like the 99 nose and would be happy with a design like that. I prefer designs that have curved shapes and aren't too busy -- they are more in line with the design of the car. Simple, curvy.
