Brand New Strut Bars for 4th and 5th Gen

I will have a brand new front strut bar for 4th and 5th gen maximas in about two weeks. Rear strut bars will be available for 4th gen only. the 5th gen has a very solid rear end and a rear strut bar is not needed. Recent prototyping shows that it is EXTREMELY difficult to get to the rear struts on the 5th gen. In fact you some special tools to get to it. So most likely a rear strut bar will not be made for 5th gen. The manufacturer will be exclusively selling the strut bars to CustomMaxima.com, below is pictures of what they will look like. The center of the bar will have CustomMaxima.com etched into it. The side brackets will be slightly different then shown in the picture. Price will be about $65, slightly more then the ones I use to have but these will look much better. Please reply to this thread about your thoughts and what colors you like. Also answer the poll for what color you would want.
Thanks,
Greg

They look nice!

There is finally going to be a good competitive market for reasonably-priced 5th gen FSTBs.

If you’re talking $65 shipped, you’re not far off from vibrant at $50 shipped and some other one at $57 shipped.

There are about to be two group deals on these other 5th gen FSTB’s , so I’d get them on the market as soon as you can.

i think you should go with the polished ones because it is more universal than colored ones..

True, but more variety = more cost. Hopefully it'll work out to his benefit

Is the red one kinda the same color as the red anodized MagLites? If they'll match my Ruby Pearl paint job I'd buy a red one, otherwise I'd go polished.

Will the 5th-gen one fit the 2002 models? Apparently there are clearance issues on the '02 that aren't a problem on the '00-'01.

If it will fit the 2K2 then I will definitely buy a blue one to go with my Majestic Blue Max!

Yeah, I would be interested if they fit on 2002 Maxima

I currently have Stillen FSTB from my 2000 SE, but I don't think it fits 2002 Maxima.
Blue color would be nice to match my car's color.
I will get one, if they fit 2002 Maxima.
