You like to spend a lot of money, don't you? Nice write up. But I always told that there's no need for a RSTB on our cars. Oh well, still a nice addition if you have the dough for it.

Thumbs Up

Good Post. Looks cool - I just wish Stillen wasn't so dang exspensive or I'd be all over their stuff too!

I hate to tell you this, but you've done alot of us a good service by telling us that it provided no noticable difference in handling.
Chances are, most guys won't buy this thing for that very reason.

Guess you'll be the only kid on the block with one -- thumbs to individuality.

Still looks cool though!

CHeers.

If you really want to "complete the box", you should look into getting the Warpspeed subframe connectors. The RSTB looks nice, but most people agree it doesn't do much for the Maxima. Nice install anyways .

Not bad, never really noticed how much that bar is NOT in the way.

It would get in the way if you want to use your passthrough though. I am going to need it this winter for my snowboards, etc...

Thanks so much for the praise. I didn't win the lottery. I just joined the .org about two months ago and was struck with the mod bug. You all are very addicting and $hit. I have a good job that enabled me to save some money. I should cool off now though because I have to save more to move out of my house and some day afford an engagement ring. But I'm having fun in the mean time.

hey are there 2 black brackets in front of your strut towers, because i have the 01 maxima, and installation is hard because there are 2 solid black brakets blocking the towers and screws, and its not as easy as your write-up suggests. so can you shed some light on this.

thanks
