Why are there no JDM tower bars for the coupe?

This is strange, isn't it? We have the equivalent of the skyline 350gt yet there's no front STB's for our car made in japan. The only one I heard of that is manufactured is Arc, but we all know how pricey that is. Why isn't Greddy, Tanabe, JIC, or even Nismo stepping up? Also, if they made it around the 150-200 range, they'd sell really well. I don't mind getting usdm if I have to, but being a jdm nut, I'd love to buy a genuine jdm bar.

Perhaps even their Cray supercomputers can't fit a design that will actually leverage enough resistance to actually work given the layout of the engine bay.

But guys like circuit sports, NRG and Richie made bars that supposedly work and they look great too.

Also notice what was changed with the 07 Nismo limited edition 350Z. Added welding at the top of the A pillar's and a new H brace in the front. They did nothing to change the regular Z's STB design, even though it's unique welded on mounting tab's have been called a afterthought, somehow the whole setup was worthy of the Nismo team. Just to be clear, of course G35's can't use 350Z STB's.

The Infiniti G35 Coupe and the NISSAN Skyline 350GT IS the same car. A strut tower bar does not come on either the U.s or the Japan version. ARC does make a titanium strut tower bar but it is very pricey.

The GT Spec/VRT one is great but as much as the ARC. I would go with CS or Richie.
