is $68 even worth it though? most people are getting theirs off of ebay for less than $25 shipped. wouldnt that still be the smart thing to do, or does CM FSTb offer something that the others dont?

What you're paying for is a name. That's all!

A machined slab of aluminum, bolts, and some mounting plates should not cost much beyond the $25 Ebay price.

Although, it would have cost Nissan about the same to add a few thousandths of an inch in thickness to the framework so that a FSTB would be unnecessary.

Trying?!, ha. If they were trying they would keep their promises on their products or at least delay them by only 3 years...

dang right !!!!

I ordered mine in Jan of 2002 - yes I know I shouldn't know better
after 7 months of waiting i got one off e-bay.
Requested refound in May of 2003 .

Because of some " misterious"-lady from accounting that never appeared at work my payment could not be traced ----?????

after noumerous phone calls and waiting on the damn phone forever
suposelly my FSTB is coming...........

It sure will go on the wall in my room - instead of that dirty engine comp.
It would be such a waste to put it there after 1.5 year of wait.

Custommaxima and their service =

i tried to get a 2000 bar for my 99 cali spec, to see if it'd fit, it didn't, but i sold it anyway, but i ordered it in red, and my car is the red se-l, but their red bars looked more maroon and didn't match anything on my car that was red........so as a suggestion, if you're looking for a red engine pay that matches, you'll have to paint the bar red....not to speak about how many times they sent me the same 2 brackets....lol, although if i was to get a fstb now, i would get the custom maxima one since supposedly the courtesy are no longer available.....has anyone proved how reliable that statement is about courtesy not producing them anymore?
