Stillen body kit

Hey guys,

I decided I want to get the Stillen front bumper and side skirts installed on my 2009 blue slate g37 coupe. Do you guys have any ideas on what it would cost to have that work done? I got a quote from a local shop and they're asking for $2,200 which seems really high to me. The parts are coming in right around $700.

Here are the parts I'm referring to -
STILLEN : STILLEN G37 Body Kits & Aero Components

Just looking to get the front lip spoiler and the side skirts. I think it would still look good if I don't get the rear valence - any thoughts?

Thanks in advance and I apologize if this has been posted already. I searched but could not find anything.

I would think you could get it installed for around $1,000. Where are you located?

that's what i was thinking too. i'm in the dc / maryland / northern virginia / philadelphia area. i split my time between those spots for work so if i knew of a good shop in the area i could take it to it could be in any of those places.

the quote i got was from a place in philadelphia

Yeah, probably around $1K..... Installation should be a breeze. It comes with install instructions and the side skirts uses the oem sideskirt holes.

You can just get an Autokits diffuser for the rear. It'll work.

You might want to consider molding the front lip into the bumper, would look much cleaner IMO

thanks sam i'll definitely do that. i'm really new to all of this stuff so i'm trying to do my homework before i go buying anything. will the molding increase the costs considerably? also do you have any thoughts on not getting the rear valence?

This kit is very nice and fits good. It uses all of the oem bolt for the side rockers but the double sided tape that comes pre installed should be replaced with 3m ones. Trust me on this one. The last thing you want is your side rockers to come loose. Lol!
make sure your body shop knows how to work with poly urethane because if they do a half @ss job your paint won't stick on the poly. Getting it molded is a good idea only if you're planning to keep your kit for a very long time. Fitment is 99%. You may have to trim off some excess rubber for it to fit 100% as with any other kits available. Can't go wrong with this kit though have fun modding.

One more thing to add. Get their roof spoiler to complete the look.
