heres a closer shot

 

follow these EXACT instructions - https://maxima.org/shoptalk/sub_modi...rs/index.shtml

did u try to put that plate on the other side?

more howto's can be found in teh 4thgen How-To section, link can be found in my sig

 

the right side plate wont lay down straight cause of the groove thats next to the handle if you can see it, i cant use the other plate and flip it around cause then it would get in the way of that bottle on top

 

ill try to get a closer and brighter pic tomorow cause its dark now

 

if som1 had a 199 9maxima gle and had a close pic of there strut bar, it would help alot

 

I don't own a 99 but from what I remember they have a nub on the strut tower that does nothing. Grind it down and forget about it. You can do a search to be sure though, I wouldn't trust me

 

lol ya i think ill try that, it looks like its used for nuthing

 

heres the pic of the whole thing, its a pretty big bump and its a good lose up pic

 

Congratulations! You bought a bar that only fits 95-98. Now you have 2 choices:
1. Cut off that nub that does absolutely nothing.
2. Buy a bar that can fit on a 99 (that's what I did)

Or also you might have overlooked the fact that when you remove those nuts, you can slip that little "wing" section on the bar under that nub and it all fits.
