Every bar does just about the same thing. You end up paying for the name of the more expensive bars i.e. Stillen.

Well, even if the Stillen didn't have the nasty gold brakets it still wouldn't be $140 better looking than the BOMZ!

Do a search and you will find tons of useful information. I read up on the subject for days. Then i chose the Stillen! Why....because i found that most of the other bars had fitment issues. Some guys had good luck, were as others didn't. I wanted to get it right on the first try and the Stillen bar didn't let me down.

I got the custom maxima fstb because it cost half what the Stillen FTSB costs for a similar quality piece and it fit perfectly. Yes, it does cost over twice what the EBAY FSTB cost, but the fit and finish is much better. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.

Check it out.

I bought some 10mm washers for my $35 (shipped) BOMZ and it fit like a champ on my 2k3 (no clearance problems or washer nozzel problems). I really like the way it looks too and it is a solid piece of aluminum that looks very well built. Also, I seemed to have more good things to say about the FSTB effects in general as opposed to others who bought other brands. It flattened the corners not only in high speed but low speed as well. I was blown away that a $35 15 minute mod could be so good!
