Here's mine and I love it! As soon as I put it on, I could instantly feel the difference... and the car wasn't even moving!!! Hahaha....j/k

Actually, it's an awesome mod, just jumping from lane to lane on the freeway it felt like the thing was on rails! So rock solid and making sharp turns, man, this feels like a whole new car to me. I can rant and rave about it, but you'll see once you get it on your car. I had to have mine custom made because it wouldn't fit my authentic Top Secret hood because of the vents.

Here are some pix:









Thanks Scott for an amazing product!

Just got off the phone with Scott, he can talk a mile a min. lol

He suggested that you absolutely must have the car on jacks in the front to eliminate the flex in the body already in order to install the bar in the first place. So im going to do that and im pretty sure that was the reason everything didn't align so well. I'll report back.

I attempted to install mine and had the same issue, the the brackets are bolted in place but they do not really match up and when I try to drop the cross brace in, it is at an angle and wont go in. I tried this with the front end jacked up and it still wouldnt go (in fact it fit even worse).

Anyone else having this problem/have a solution?

Have you tried rotating it the other way? Cuz for me, it worked one way, but not the other.

The car has to be up on jackstands in order for it to give a good match. You can't do it while it is on the ground. This is directly from Scott, as I just saw him today and we talked about some stuff. I have to get a new bracket made for mine as it doesn't fit with one of my pipes.

Speedraver - your car looks fvcking sick! Congrats! I wanted to get mine black chromed but couldn't justify spending the extra $250 to do it

Yeah, just try it to see if it works, it couldn't hurt. It might be a long shot, but hey, if it works, you can just remove the logo and re-attach it with some glue.

I have placed the brackets on the bolts to check the fitment and it looks like my driver side bracket is not aligning with the bracket on the passenger side...if that makes any sense.
mine sits a lil higher on the passenger side too.
