Do those coupling nuts come with it? It looks like he just added them to clear the plennum.

The Mounts look to be what Kinetix used in order to gain more clearance. I'm not sure how you would think that the bar wasn't made for the G35 being that Kinetix pretty much develops items just for the G35 and 350z.

Those that have installed the bar feel pretty comfortable about the mounts. What exactly is there to worry about all Kinetix products have a lifetime warranty.

Torsional stability has got to suffer with an extension like that. You have added a 1.5 " "lever" to the ends of the strut. The have to flex some. Would have been much better to have radiused the bar. They don't ever appear to be "hardened", just cad plated grade 3 coupling nuts.

Looks all right, but those spacers worry me. Why not have them welded onto the strut bar mount right away?

If they needed more clearance why didn't they make the mounting bracket taller and eliminate the hardware store mod. I was sold on the bar before i saw that.

It's not the warranty I'm worried about, it's Will the darn thing work? My Bet is No. Those mounts will reduce the bars structural integrity a LOT.
