'''Stillen''' (stylized as '''STILLEN''') (Steve Millen Sportparts, Inc.) is the automotive aftermarket parts [company](/source/company) created by [Steve Millen](/source/Steve_Millen), a former racecar driver for [Nissan](/source/Nissan) who was known for racing the [300ZX](/source/Nissan_300ZX). In 1986, Stillen began selling mini-truck ground effects and then began fulfilling orders for vans and full-sized trucks.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stillen.com/about-us/ |title=About STILLEN - Steve Millen Sportparts, Inc |access-date=2014-02-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222205425/http://www.stillen.com/about-us/ |archive-date=2014-02-22 }}</ref> However, Stillen became known for specializing in parts for [Nissan](/source/Nissan) cars, but also supplies parts for other vehicles such as the [Ford GT](/source/Ford_GT) and [Toyota 86](/source/Toyota_86). Stillen also develops parts for other cars such as the [Chevrolet Camaro](/source/Chevrolet_Camaro) and [Ford F150](/source/Ford_F150) (including Ford Raptor).  In 1996, Stillen purchased a machining shop from [Frank Shuter](/source/Frank_Shuter_(speedway_rider)), a former New Zealand speedway champion.<ref>Addison, J (2000).

The company became quite popular with the production of its Stillen exhaust and has continued expanding their line of performance parts. Today, they offer a line of [superchargers](/source/superchargers), cold air intakes, and [body kits](/source/body_kits) for [sports cars](/source/sports_cars), American performance cars and [trucks](/source/trucks).

The Stillen R35 GT-R, involved modifying a [Nissan GT-R](/source/Nissan_GT-R), enabling it to go from 0–100&nbsp;km/h in 2.9 seconds, instead of the factory-rated 3.6 seconds. The car was designed mainly for Targa Newfoundland. The modifications included removal of significant weight, chip and computer tuning, new stiffer suspension system and carbon brakes.
