Mine just arrived. Somehow there was a crazy amount of dirt inside the GTSpec packaging, but it washed off quickly and the braces look quality.

Has anyone decrypted the Japanese directions yet? It looks like we are supposed to press fit a threaded grommet into the fender well, but the three bolts for two holes is kinda confusing. I assume the longer bolt is only for the grommet install? Any ideas about the additional grommet?

Er, if i had read the baggie that the extra grommet came it, i would realize it said 'spare'.

One question answered
Hope im not blatantly misreading the direction as well.

well to be specific, the part numbers for 03-04 sedans are exactly the same as the coupes, so these should fit 03-04 sedans. SHOULD is the key word.

as for 05-06 sedans go, the part number is different in my system, but that doesn't mean that fitment will change SO id anyone with 05-06 sedans care to try these out for test fit purposes, I'll be glad to sell a set at a demo price !!!


As for the sedans go from 03-04, IF you are interested at all in buying these I have only 3 sets left at the GB price,
please CALL ME at 714 650 8586 ext 158 to order
