you should do a search on this.....

some of them req a bit modification...I got my OBX FSTB off ebay and the install was easy but comes with minor imperfection (winshield washer fluid is now shooting weaker than before). but some ppl are having lots of problem with it. so just be aware.

about stillen...it is a isntall and forget name brand bar costed lots of $$$....like getting a versace shirt. it has to best look....use the best material...and again, cost the most.

I would suggest curtesey FSTB...fits good and doesnt cost that much, 70 bucks.

Just get the bar from the guy that is selling them in the group deal section. Cost if like $50 and it is MADE for the 2000-2002 and it does NOT impede washer fluid or anything else. I think the guys name was StealthMAX or something to that point. I know it started with an S

That bar on eBay isn't the OBX one, it is the "Trust" one that seems to be a replica of the Courtesy FSTB. The OBX bar looks closer to the Stillen bar and has problems with fitment (same as the Stillen bar, maybe worse).

I bought that one for my 2000 SE. It fit perfectly without and modification needed. It seems sturdy and strong and installed easily. What more could you ask for?

It's a good bar, in fact Stealthmax sells the same exact bar over at the GD section.

Additionally, this is the same supplier we had a while back on a GD here at the Org.

My install instructions (and photo's) are in the how-to section.

I've got an OBX FSTB that I bought off of Ebay and I had no fitment problems and my washer fluid still squirts full blast. I think I paid like $45-50 plus shipping. However, the one in the auction you linked to doesn't look like mine exactly.

Just my $.02,
Johnny V.
