I want that!!

Well, I for one would be interested in this if one of these guys is coming to Maxus this year. Thanks for your impressions 98SE. Anyone else with a 4th gen who's had this done?

How come they say $150-200 for a Maxima but back on the original SR20 thread it was $75-100?

I ended up paying $120 for it and he needed $50 from everyone for his plane ticket. Plus the cost of gas and driving thru Thanksgiving holiday traffic.

Well, maybe one of the Maxus organizers can track the new person down? I wish I had time to do that but I'm in school until mid-May. I guess if any other 4th/5th gen owners are interested in this, they should post here to express that so we have an idea.

None of my idea's have panned out either. I inquired with Steve about a year ago in borrowing his jig with a deposit and that went nowhere. Then I tried a local frame shop who said it would cost more than a new beam would. That's why I'm thinking a local meet and paying Steve lavishly might work.
