ok, the bar highlighted in the picture... (I'm a new Max owner) in 12 hours I had 5 different people tell me it was called 5 different things... what is it? I know what it does, but not where to get it, or how much it costs let alone the real name of it!!

Or if you want you can get the 4gen ones and "Ghetto Rig" it. Then it will run about $40.

All I mean by Ghetto Rigging it is that you need to hacksaw off this part of a bracket that hold the stock airbox. No big deal. No harm.

Got any pics or a litle more info on "ghetto rigging" a 4th gen FSTB?
Does it look sloppy?

Not sloppy at ALL. Just go to my website and you will see. You cant tell. Only a fanatic or an expert would be able to know that I hacked off part of the stock air box bracket. Someone actually had instructions on how to do this. SOMEONE remember where the thread or the write up on it was?

Have you thought of lowering your car or putting a body kit on it. As it is the lights make it look a little more aggresive. Imagine those to things or one or the other and it would look even more

I want to lower my car, but too many conflicting opinions. Eibachs require new shock/struts since the stock ones cant handle how hard they are. I dont want a hard ride anyways. H&R are supposedly lower and more like stock ride. Progress are even lower and dont know how the ride is on that.

Lastly, what happens if I got the H&R or Progress springs, and I got a full load of 5 people in my car, the back is gonna look like a old caddy that has 500lbs in the trunk or something right?

But whatever the deal is, I dont want to replace my struts/shocks right now. Saving more money towards my audio mods, such a TV headunit in the next month.

for a peice of metal that goes from on part of the engine bay to the other, i woulnd't pay more tahn 100bux. for those honda cars out there. the vendors sell it for 12bux to them.. imagine how much it cost to make if the venders sell it at 12bux, how much will it cost for tthe venders to get it from the manufactures?? however, a custom one will cost a grip load of cash if you have them make it out of a solid peice of aluminum, and cut stuff out using a cnc machine.

The cheapest one out there is the Courtesy which is 89.

First, don't listen to anyone with a Honda. They don't know anything about cars or mods. Otherwise, they would have purchased something else.

The shiney thingy is a FSB and can be purchased from Stillen Motorsports (www.stillen.com) and/or Courtesy Nissan (www.courtesynissan.com). Either one does the same thing.

I believe Ooglie makes one too. But, it is really a piece of wooden closet pole painted with PepBoys chrome paint. And, I think it comes with a friction light bracket from an old Schwinn 12 speed bicycle or something. I'd personally stay away from that one.

Hey man, don't make fun of the parts on my car. I put a lot of work into it. BTW, You can use a shower curtain rail as well.

OoOo i strongly recomend that you edit that portion of that post.. because you just might get chewed out for it.. a few of us also own hondas, and i must say, becase many of them may be more knowledgable than us about cars, that's why they chose hondas, more reliable, more aftermarket support, better gas millage ( on the most part), and cheaper car, tends to have a lower insurance rate.. the information i got was not from a honda owner, but from a major vendor..

Yes, I don't think making comments such as those does anything but shows others how biased you (we?) are. You really can't (and shouldn't) judge anyone by what car they have/drive/mod.

Just remember, you get what you paid for, how much would you like to pay? The best looking one's are made by STILLEN. I'm talking good support and bad *** looks.

Why??? I own a Honda too. It is my SCCA car. And, that is why I said what I did. (Tee! Hee!)
