Rmm Stb
Opinions on the fit, finish, and performance on the RMM STB? Does it fit on a GS400 without removing the engine cover? What is the material of construction and is it polished or chromed.

The one I saw was old (as in, not brand new) - not sure if it's been updated. I didn't like the way the main bar is attached to the strut tower mount with a bolt. The TRD one is a solid welded piece and looks MUCH sturdier.
Here's the RMM one:

Bitkahuna,
That pic you got there with the TRD mounted on a GS4. It looks as if they were mounted w/o spacers and fit perfectly on a GS4 which is great. However, on a GS3 w/o engine cover, will the TRD still fit? I've heard conflicting some claims that you need spacers on a TRD if you have an engine cover but if you don't have an engine cover, you don't. Others claim you still need spacers on a coverless GF3 to clear the throttle body.
I'm so confused. Nonetheless, nice pic.

I did have my with engine cover on for a while.. but it was rubbing the cover.. in two places.. so I decide to take it off. Plus, I did not want to user the spacer. If I did, I want be able to adjust my damper... right now they stick out a bit.. I could use my finger to adjust them. Otherwise, I will have to remove stb everytime I want to adjust them. I will post a pic soon.
Picture was taken ages ago, my engine bay is much cleaner now. I know yours is surgically clean.
