Anyone want to buy a GT Spec brace?

Wondering if anyone wants to buy a GT Spec rear tie brace (http://gtspec.com/index.php?nav=prod...id=153&cat=83). PM me if interested.

I tried having it installed on my G, but it wouldn't fit because

1) the brace fits above the exhaust pipes (follow the link above for pic); and
2) the pipes on my exhaust (Fast Intentions) extend too high up.

Apparently, this may also be an issue with the HKS Hi-Power and Skunk 2 exhausts, but it should fit on stock. I can't guarantee that, but was told that by TH Motorsports, who I got the brace from.

The brace is brand new, only having been removed from the packaging once for the install attempt above. I'm offering this to local NorCal folks since I do not want to deal with shipping hassles. Best offer by end of Friday (Feb. 1) wins.

Yeah, it's the rear tie bar, not the rear lateral bar (which goes below the exhaust pipes). Part No. is GTS-SUS-1087. As far as price, it's best offer, as per the original post, though I'd be happy to get list, which is 89.

There are a total of 5 braces for our G's, but remove the 4 point ones and it leaves 3.
The rear tie brace which fits above the exhaust;
The front lateral which you will have kris
The rear lateral which goes below the exhaust.

Thanks for letting me know it will not fit the FI exhaust system as that is what I have and what I was looking to purchase

Unless you want to autocross the car I would stick with just the bars you can get and leave the 4 point one for those who track their car.
