Hopefully it will work on the N15 bumper

Anyhow, just thought I'd throw that out there.



No problems on my side. Seems to work fine for me, and I catch stations as far as 60 miles away in Miami.

I might end getting that lip now damn it. If I can get a 240 lip to fit I can sure as hell get this to look right.

Wayne, just be ready to do some serious slicing!

I think it look alright on the 98/99 bumper as long as you get rid of the center piece of the bumper

Where do you think it needs to be cut?

the front of the lip would need to be rounded to fit the shape.

Then I think another problem is the area were fogs are ate are rounded in a lot more then previous versions of the bumper, so it might be problematic there...

I'm just gonna shave the antenna period. I REFUSE to use my radio. iPod ready radio FTMFW.



I'm definitely gonna have to get up on that Stillen lip. It is SICK with that Sunny bumper.

Yo Vadim, i got a new idea last night about the armrest...i'll let u know later. Once i work out how to make it work lol.

Okay guys,

the long awaited pictures of the PAINTED sunny bumper cover and STILLEN lip. There were ZERO modifications done to the lip. The painter installed the lip, and it looks just a tiny bit rough, so it may need to be redone further down the line. From a small distance, though, you can't really tell...

Anyhow, on to the pics...





Sorry the pics are blurry. Will be installing the setup tomorrow morning, and wiring the lights. Also going to put on the lucino mirrors, and S15 wheel.
