You're whining about having to custom build on an SR? WTF dude? everything it out there already for them...
try doing the same types of things on a Maxima... then you'll be looking at custom fab!

Item # Item Title Quantity Price Subtotal
7992357039 00-03 NISSAN MAXIMA CNC FRONT UPPER STRUT TOWER BAR 1 $34.99 USD $34.99 US

I just tried to find them, but Ebay says "item is invalid or has been removed" Guess I'll be watching the CC after that, sort of scary huh? I do have the Bar and it took all of 3 minutes to put on and mabye an additional 3 min to torque to spec, can't wait to get her on some twisties and see if it woorks as good as it looks!

Honestly I would rather do it on a maxima, then i would feel like I accomplished something. Everything has been done on 240's. So technically its not custom. But wiring is a pain in the neck. I miss my max. Im selling this thing as soon as I fire it up and im getting either another max or a 2+2 Z.
