Front lip owners

I was just wondering if any of you guys know if anybody has, or tried to, mount a Stillen Classic front lip from a 5.5 gen Max on a 5th gen Max bumper? I have a little project planned for my front and rear bumper, and was thinking about maybe doing this. Can all you 5.5 gen Max owners please post some pics of the Stillen Classic lip spoiler? I know MaximaPolak has it, but I couldn't find pics of his car. Just curious to see if this is do-able. Thanks in advance.

Can anybody with a Stillen Classic lip post up some pics so I can check it out. If it's just some minor body work to mold it in, I'm down. I just don't want to have to reconstruct a new front lip. I know the '02 has 2 openings in the lower front portionof the bumper, but it looks like the body line is the same with '00. If so, molding it in shouldn't be too bad. I'm already going to be bodyworking the bumpers anyway....for my little project.

you can, but that is a lot of body work to make it fit right. Someone, cant remember who, fitted the stillen lip from a 2k 2k1 to a 2k2 2k3. He had to modify the bumper but it looked alright to me.

Has anybody gone the other way around........'02 lip to a '00 front bumper? Thanks to harmbone2k2 for the link. It looks do-able. SilverMax2k2, how hard was it to line it up. Does the body line on the '02 bumper line up with the front lip? If it does, then it should be able to go back the other way with the '00 front bumper. Let me know. Did any of that make any sense to any one? I don't know how else to explain it.
