I haz the two point.



The front end is definitely tighter than with the eBay bar. It takes road imperfections better as well. I'm extremely satisfied with it.

I don't think it'll clear the brake fluid reservoir.

I was hoping at least on person in this thread bought the 3 point! Like Chris stated, I don't think it will clear the brake reservoir...

F' it. I just emailed the ebay seller, as follows:

Hello,

A large group of 1995 to 1999 Maxima enthusiasts like this 3 point bar, but know it won't work because it won't clear the brake reservoir (the bar going from strut tower to strut tower is fine, it's the other angled bar that's in conflict). I would like to know if you'd be interested in specifically making this bar compatible with our cars? Once designed, I'm sure you would sell plenty of these. I would be glad to work with you and provide the necessary dimensions/pictures to ensure proper clearance. Please let me know, then we can exchange emails and work outside of ebay. Thank you.

Valve cover looks like the OE piece, just polished
Spark plug cover looks painted
and the UIM is covered with DEI Reflect-A-GOLD Heat Barrier Tape (IIRC)

Last time I checked, this thread was about FSTB's, not spark plug covers and heat tape.
