I've seen this question a few times, so I thought I would go ahead and buy one and see if it works. I purchased a cheapo ebay FSTB for a 2k to 2k4 and it bolted right up. Good thing is it clears the 00VI, but is pretty darn close to the inside hood skin. Hopefully this answers the question.

 

had never crossed my mind but good to know!

 

The design of the brackets is the full circle instead of the C shaped of most of the 4th gen cheapos. The brackets look just like the Stillen ones. This time around it was a successful $28 experiment.

 

Yeah, I have a fifth gen FSTB bolted up to mine as well. The brackets bolt up but the bar hits the skin and hood a little. I tilted mine back some so it cleared the hood. I thought people had done this before.
