FINALLY!!! STILLEN grille is now available!!!

Hey Guys,

Thank you so much for your patience on this item. We have been getting demands on these grills for about a year now and we are finally ready to release it. This is a great way to really enhance the front of the G's and give it a strong, aggressive look.

There are two different grill insert choices, gloss black and matte black. The urethane shells are designed to either be painted, or directly installed. So far these grills have been installed on blue, red, black, and silver cars without any paint matching and the color contrast really looks good.

Here is a direct link to the products page as well as three pictures.

When installing these grills please keep in mind that patience is a virtue. The fit and finish is perfect, however, it does require some patience to ensure everything is lined up properly. Total install should take about an hour or less.

Is it just me or does the "gloss version" not look very glossy?

Hey Kyle, any options for color matching in the future or maybe offering a raw version for those who want to color match?

Finally!. But I'd have to wait on these. I need to slow down on spending for mods.

Kyle, I was told that you guys don't ship to PO boxes. I have no other choice.
Could we make special arrangements?

Looks pretty good. Can't wait to see some people get this on. Looks good on the Stillen G for sure.

We threw up images (the same) this moment to illustrate, we'll have more detailed photos added soon. I apologize for that.

There isn't a tremendous difference in gloss vs. semi-gloss, it's just an option depending on the theme of the vehicle.

Most of you have seen the G37 that was built in conjunction with Momo, which has the grille in it's traditional form, not paint-matched, but with a matte paint that we ship with, which also contains a UV protectant for the raw urethane.

(oh.. and yes the Momo G37 was a prototype, there are some slight differences in the production grille, this was a one-off, but it's illustrative of the matte look of the shipped grille)

Unfortunately we've found that color matching can be an issue, because the color of your car doesn't necessarily match the paint code, or any other vehicle supposedly the same color.

A quality shop will do a tremendously better job ensuring the part will match, especially when you consider the different areas being painted around that section, the hood, bumper, and this grille all being different materials.

So if we're painting parts to the color that's specified, and yours is slightly different, we're left with shipping parts out and back, refunds (which we would understand and do), or you're the nicest guy in the world and just deal with it, we still have what becomes and inferior product that looks horrible even in our own eyes, because the factory was just a titch different that day.
