What does everyone think of Greg's CustomMaxima.com FSTB???
 
Greg has posted pics of the new piece on his website now, what does everyone think? I am wondering what he will be charging, and more importantly, when are they available??? I am days from doing this mod and wanna know if I should wait for Greg... What's up man? Give us the scoop...

It looks okay. But IMHO, I think the name uses a "feminine" font so it doesn't look "solid". Just my .02

...Ya Greg, that's my only criticism, the bar looks very squared away, but we need some block letters that say CustomMaxima.com, not some silky, fancy cursive letters! :D

Yup, other than that, it looks pretty cool! Looks just like the DC sports bars I used to sell years ago. I like the stillen bars but they are kind of expensive. Just waiting for the price of these.

I don't know about the FTSB, but the colored hose kit is crap.

Totally OT, I know, but $30 for the garbage I got is definitely NOT worth it. I'm fairly bitter about that purchase.:mad:

It is a plastic kit- NOT silicone.

And it is crap because you MUST crack the big pieces in half to fit them on. They are not the slightest bit flexible. Once you crack it, the whole side of it has a white line running through it.

Also, it leaves a red dye on EVERYTHING. I had to SCRUB my bumper for 20 minutes with Dissolve It to get the stains out. Whatever that stuff touches, it bleeds on. Complete junk. Biggest waste of $$ in the world.

And don't flame me for saying this. I sent Greg and Custommaxima.com THREE total e-mails and I was ignored on all of them.

i remember asking Greg about the price. It's like $60 or something. Thinking of getting it, since it looks better than the generic ones... and cheaper than the "Stealing" one.

It appears that Greg wanted the name on the bar and he had little room to put it. Since he can't go with size he had to go with style - thus cursive. I personally don't care for the font used but the bar is a great alternative to Stealin' and the generic bar I have now. Like the holes and colors for a cheap price (although I think he should have used a full circle mount bracket - more stable).

I applaud the fact that he offers an alternative.
Hey, if you don't like it, don't buy it but cetainly don't ***** about it.

Shaydz :cool:

You must be joking. Gee, I don't complain about the big "masculine" letters on a box of "feminine hygiene products" making me feel less springtime fresh . . . .

bad summer cold, too much Nyquil . . . :)

I know what you mean about the complaints.
Remember with the Nyquil - only fill to the first line, not the top. That might make you woozy - and we wouldn't want that :rolleyes: ....

heheh

Hey, it was just my .02 :) Never really noticed the "masculine" letter on those products. :laugh: Sorry!
