WTF??? Brackets wont fit!

The bracket holes will only fit on the passenger side, not the driver side! Do you think CustomMaxima sent me the wrong one? Just HOW REPUTABLE are they?

the holes dont line up completely, or do you need to stretch out the lenth of the acutal bar?

Do ya have 2 of the same side? Maybe they sent you 2 passenger side brackets...

With regards to CM, it seems that some people here like em while others hate em...

50 lbs seems too much... I thought it was more like 32-38 lbs-ft or 39-54 N-m.

Conversion is as follows: (N-m)*.7376 = Lbs Ft

So 50 N-m = 36.88 Lbs Ft

I read one of the FAQs, either 5th gen or the I30/I35 one, and remembered it was 50lbs. If I am wrong, sorry for the mistake, listen to the senior member above instead.
