Default Are these any good?

Seems like a good price on Ebay, but does NE1 have experience with it? How does it fit? Any interference with hood insulation or engine components?

Yes I did realize that.

He already has a RMM front STB. I think he then bought this RVM rear. Your pic is of the RVM front STB. I don't know anyone with the fronts and just offered a person I know that has the rear STB. He may be able to tell you about the build quality of the rear one so you can extrapolate what the front one may be like.

Good luck.

Well...does the seller guarantee it'll fit?

I guess you can be the beta tester for the rest of us. I've been trying to look for one too.

Let us know if it fits with or without the OEM engine cover. I want one to fit with the engine cover.

Goodluck. Let us know how it goes.

My friend with a Gs400 got the front and the rear. He got it cheaper then ebay on some yahoo store I believe it was like $40 or $45. But he never put in the rear the front seems to be fine he didnt complain about it when i looked under his hood.

Yeah, if he got the front one (RVM) too, I'll have to change his CL Screen name to rVmgs4 .

I can't find it anywhere on Yahoo shopping. Any links? That price is awesome. I've seen this strut bar on a friend's GS400 and it's nice.
