obviously this fool hasn't seen a stillen fstb.. the stillen one i think is a solid bar with holes in it. it also comes with mounting brackets that help you relocate some wire connectors and sensors.. so i say hrmmm.. 75+15shipping.. and no extra hardware for relocating some stuff.. don't sound the best to me.. but then again.. stillen is alot more right?? so it's all up to u.

That's an exact replica of the Courtesy FSTB! Check it out for yourself at:

Also funny how he knows it'll fit the redesigned 2003 Maxima!!!

What an IDIOT!!!

Here is what Stillen has to say about it...

Greetings!

A few weeks ago this clown posted the same ad. Take a look at horrible feedback. Stillen sent me an Email regarding this... I pasted a note at the bottom of this message from them. I like the 2003 section the most.

From: Info <Info@stillen.com>
To: "'Wade'"

Status:

That is not a Stillen strut brace. Our brace features cadmium plated rings
and a brushed aluminum bar that has been clear anodized. The ad claims at
the bottom that,
"This item is not made by stillen, but is an exact replica in every way."

That bar doesn't look anything close to what we have. They already lied
once in their ad, who is to say they didn't lie about the other things they
have said in the ad. If I were you, I would not buy from a dishonest
person. I even checked this Ebay seller's other ads. All of those parts are
claimed to be "exact replica in every way" of other manufacturers when none
of them look like the real deal. The best one is the Stillen 300ZX front
strut brace. It claims to be an exact replica. Funny thing is, we haven't
made one yet for the 300ZX!!! I can almost guarantee that these are made in
Taiwan with very bad materials and very bad welds. It probably only cost
them $5-10 each to import. Remember, good products aren't cheap and cheap
products aren't good.

I agree. I dont think Stillen was aiming at Taiwan in general. Your right though... they do have good stuff! Stillen that is.

Thank you for all your helps and comments.
I have seen a real stillen FSTB and I though they make more than one model for the same car, that's the reason why I put it to this forum.

If I found any other thing similar to this, I will let the forums know.

There is a group deal going on for $180 a piece + $15 shipping from custom maxima.com.
