tittle says it all. did anyone put theirs on themselves? how is the fitment? does the bodyshop need my car to make the bumper fit right or can they just paint it and ill put the bumper on? do i need to add hooks or clips to the bumper or does the stock screws old it on right? i know im asking much but stillen doesnt have an email question thing. thanks...........Frank

oh yeah, what fog lights will fit the stillen front bumper?
 
I also need the info. Wondering about the fogs, and also a cost to custom mold s15 headlights to the bumper? anyone have an idea? Is it made out of fiberglass? Whats the best price you guys seen for this front bumper?
 
i replied to your other post about the s15 headlights. all your stock screws and bolts will be fine. they held your stock bumper on so why not hold on the stillen also. others will reply with better answers.
later

1) It should use the stock 97-99 foglights I believe.

2) You don't mold the S15 lights to the bumper... you have to fit them to the fenders and the hood. I believe both front fenders are all that need to be modified externally. The cost is going to be at least $1000 if you don't do it yourself. They will have to grind the fenders away and fabricate brakets to bolt the S15 lights to.

3) The stillen bumper is made out of urethane.

The stillen bumper is relativly easy to insrtall. Fit is almost perfect. The only thing that I had to change is. When you remove you old front clip there is a piece of foam attached to the bumper. This foam will need to be removed. Then I also added to small metal brackets undernieth at each corner to give it a little bit more strength.


As for fog lights I have the PIAA 1100X Platinum series. I got the fog light through stillen they recomended these to me. The foglights have an absolutly perfefect fit to the bumper
 
Cucumber had stillen bumper on his old N/T hopefully he will jump in here.
 
That's cucumber's car. Ignore the text below it...It was from a photoshop war.... I'm sure cucumber doesn't really care anyway.
