OK,
This is the lip in question:

Now,
That is on a 98 stle front bumper with the driving light holes. My question is will that fit the 97 style bumper which is on my car. Which doesn't have the holes and a different 'mouth'. You can see the differences in bumper in the aftermarket parts thread in B14 or in my thread in the members rides or my site.

Hey Seth,
I dont think that will fit on a 97 style bumper. Im not sure, but I think that the 97 bumper curves in, and the 98 bumper just points down. But Im not positive on that.

Here's a pic of the lip on my style. It doesn't look like it'll fit.

That is how I thought it would fit. When I buy my new bumper im gonna get a 98 version. It should fit without any mods. Did you have a 98 bumper on your car when you got it?

How about a 99 bumper?
The sentra 99 come with a different bumper.It have the holes for the fog lights but is different

Well,
The 99 definately won't fit. Your best bet there is a new front completely.

It WILL fit the 97 bumper with modification. William from importpartsplus did it before....I was going to do it too, but didn't have the $$$, plus its winter now. check out importdisplay.com http://www.importpartsplus.com/?site...p3&member_id=2

How much is the Stillen lip? I was looking on their site and couldnt find it.

you know, I didn't think the lip would look good on the 97 bumper, but that 97 above looks pretty bad ass.

Umm,
What does 'modification' mean?
(I dont mean literally for those with the websters).

I'm not sure of exactly what he had to do, but contact him on AIM at importpartsplus and ask him. He's on pretty often.

The Stillen lip fit on my car virtually out of the box.. I did have to coax it a bit on the corners with a heat gun to fit tight to the bumper. (i've still got a slight problem on the left corner I need to fix) but for the most part, it's all sticky tape and screws. I found a way to screw through the lip up into the bumper which REALLY sucked it up tight.

HEY!
You got the stealth front with dark wheels and a chrome lip. Thats right in the direction that I am going with my car!
Well you got there first, and mine is a little different. I have stealth side markers on top of the signalls, no fin in back, and body matched mirrors. Plus I may keep the chrome on the windows and the OEM grille I'm going to keep as well.
Those wheels are supposed to be light no? (Tenzo R)
