I just ordered a FSTB from Street Beat and dont know how to install it. I dont have it yet but I just wanted to know if anyone could give me very detailed directions on how to do it myself(which I would rather do) or somewhere I can get it done. Thanks

Unscrew the nuts... three on each side. Assemble the bar and slide the holes on the end pieces over the bolts. Screw the nuts back on and torque to 40 ft/lb.

The nuts are 14mm I believe.

pretty easy...

Make sure your vehicle is on even ground, if it takes more than 15 minutes for the install something is wrong.

Good luck

Re: pretty easy...

It does sound pretty easy! Just to be EXTRA safe does anyone have any Installation pics? Step by step instructions, or just close up pics of them in their cars? Thanks for all the help!

Trust us... once you get the bar and open up your hood, everything will fall into place.

But if you really, really, really, really, really feel like you need pictures... go to the FAQ here: https://maxima.org/maxfaqs/index.shtml and also go here: http://www.maximadriver.com and check the HOW2 section.
