^ I don't think Richie's quality and attention to detail is in question at the moment.

As promised here's a update. We tested the final prototype tonight and everything went very well. The strut bar is solid, once everything is tightened down there is no movement at all. The bar works with or without the covers and no modifications are needed for the install. We will also start working on a solution for the brackets that attached to the stock strut tower bar this should be simple compared to everything else. So enjoy the pictures and I will start collecting deposits ASAP. We will need somewhere between 10 -15 deposits to start production. Hopefully we can get a good group buy going and some nice price breaks. Keep in mind this is only the prototype so the brackets are not powder coated just spray painted and the bar is pretty banged up from testing.

I'm ready to pay in full. I think I would want mine with black brackets and polished bar seeing that I would probably have my covers on.

I am thinking most people will want black brackets. What does everyone think of the base pricing including black brackets and a polished bar. For those people that non base coating I will take everything and drop it off at the powder coater for a quote and everyone can pay the actual cost. What does everyone think?

bump! for a great seller and great product! MANY people on G35Driver.com has his strut bar (including myself) and the majority of customers are satisfied with the strut bar he made for the G35. i am sure the strut bar for the TL will be nothing but great.

Something like $50 just keep it simple. I need to sign up as a vendor still once that is finalized we will get the ball moving. Right now the ETA is for the end of November.

Super easy. Remove to stock bar (3 nuts on each side, 3 misc bolts for the fuse box and some other brackets) and unbolt 3 more nuts from the top of the strut... put the new bar on, bolt down and you're ready to hit the track! haha
