Yeah I spoke to the sales rep at stillen and he told me that it would fit our cars. He also told me they won't be in stock until 2 or 3 weeks. Oh yeah he said that the pic is of the tie-down installed on a 97 maxima.

SWA tie-down is ugly looking, and only $5.00 cheaper, I think the extra $5.00 is worth the Stillen tie-down.

Oh, I was thinking that that SWA were only 15 bucks. In that case, go with the Stillen

I've got the SWA tie down and the stillen one is on the way

I may just keep the SWA one though. I'm not too keen on having Stillen's name all over every little thing on my car. It's bad enough it's stamped on the front and rear of the kit and on the strut bar already...

how did you get? Did they ship already, my sales rep told me that it wouldn't be available until 2 or 3 weeks? Are they lying to me

please inform me of what's going on, because if they did ship it out for you, then I have to call them and order.

if the name is just painted on there and not engraved, a little lacquer thinner will take it right off.

it looks like it's stamped like the strut bar and kit. it'll be getting polished w/ everything else so the paint will be removed.

D-sta it should be pretty good quality. From the pic it looks to be similar or the same material as their strut bar.

when I order I will tell you. If you can use the stock one on the optimus, then I guess the stillen bar will fit.

I don't know about if it comes with new bolts, I hope it does, it should for $40.00. If anything I will paint the stock bolts and the j shaped bars with a black spray can.
