Any real difference if I flip my FSTB upside-down? The FSTB is contacting my hoodliner slightly.

 

It's not a big deal if its hitting the hoodliner. Don't flip it upside down.

 

Okay, the net result is the hood (stock) is up a few centimeters. Just don't want the hood flapping back at my windshield if I am going highway speeds and the latch pops.


Edit: can't really flip it upside down. I may just modify the fstb with a different bar and some welding later.

 

remove the fSTB. take some of the bend out of it until it just clears the engine. reinstall. done.

 

If you install the FSTB up-side-down your handling will get worse instead of better.

Just sayin'...

 

lol!


how??? the bar braces the two towers to each other how would it get worst?!?!?!

 

+1 I dont think it would get worse but I dont think it would work properly. Will it even fit flipped upside down? Seems like it would hit the intake...

1. The FSTB exists to keep the towers from moving towards each other. The bends' only purpose is to clear the engine.

2. It was a joke :

 

??? What was a joke??? The whole thread?

 

lol

 

You have no idea.

After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

 

Hahaha
My 2 cents...
The purpose of the brace is to increase rigidity between the 2 strut towers. If it was flipped, and for sake of argument fit, then it would serve it's purpose just as well as it would the other way around (Unless if it were a triangular brace...lol).
