Need FSTB - recommendations?

Just got a '99 SE - need a FSTB. Can anyone recommend one and the price? Are they pretty much the same? Thanks.

yeah, expect to pay anywhere from $30 -$60 for a new one. Check out custommaxima.com and they have some good deals. don't expect 'the best' customer service though....IMHO..

Search ebay, got mine for about $120.00. There are a few places that post them on ebay. Take a look at them and pick the one which looks best to you. Springmax is right, they all do the same thing.

I see you have a 99. You may need to cut a small bracket from the driver side strut tower to get the ring to fit correctly.

I just ordered the CustomMaxima FSTB...

Along with the Addco RSB. I ordered them about 7:00 AM this morning and at about 10:00 AM I got an eMail saying they will be shipped today. I know he (Greg) has had a bad rep for customer service in the past, but that's all because of the clear corners. He seems very efficient to me. The FSTB was $50 shipped - a little more than other places (like eBay), but I like to give a fellow Maxima-owner some business and I got me RSB from him as well. Anyways the FSTB is very simple, but that's all one should need unless they're going for show - then its Stillen or Courtesy Nissan no doubt.

Definitely go with Greg at CustomMaxima.com...
I got my FSTB from him two weeks ago, then added H&Rs last week, and today I added the Addco RSB. Late Tuesday night (New Year's Eve) I ordered the RSB and Trenz Aluminum Valence. Within 20 minutes I had a confirmation e-mail, and early this morning they arrived at my door. It only took two days. This is the kind of service I've received from Greg since I bought my first mod from him over a year ago. He may be out of things from time to time but thats not his fault. Sometimes companies don't make or ship stuff to him fast enough. Don't listen anyone who says his customer service isn't great. He gets us the best mods for the best prices, we should all love the guy (I'm not a f*g).
Don't pay anything over $40 for a FSTB, they work JUST as good as a Stillen one that would cost you over $100.
Happy shopping..

Let me rephrase and delve; Don’t expect THE BEST customer service, but expect good….that’s why I recommended custommaxima.com.

The ‘best’ service qualifies under the category of: Never having late order problems, Never keeping customers in the dark of where their order is, Never accepting payments unless they have the product in stock and always, if inconvenienced, compensate the customer with discounts ect. And apologize. I’ve ordered A LOT of stuff from him, but have experienced all of the problems above with every product. Try spending $400 on a y-pipe and getting it 3 months later or clear corners that never arrived….

But, they do sell good quality products for a low price…and for that low price, you get a little uncertainty.

I suppose I'd feel similar to how you do if I never received something, or received it three months late. I guess I'm lucky that hasn't happened to me, but I'm sure it will since I'll be ordering more stuff soon.
Sorry if I came across as a d*ck, never intended it, just kinda felt bad when I heard something bad about Greg.

No prob, my man. Maybe he can use this as constructive critism?

Both the BlueVisions and CoolBlues suck!! They are barely better than stock. Go out and get PIAAs (either Xtreme white or Platinum superwhite). Its worth the money for the look and quality, they last!
