Got them today, I'll post in the suspension thread with more detail. The color of the bars change from gray to light army green to blue depending on how light hits them. Purdy cool, I was gonna powder coat but decided to keep them as is for awhile....I like.:top:
Picture of the STB for those that are on the fence on going with them. Overall I have to say great product.

Thanks Doc.
Yea Dave my Stillen will be for sale also.
See the red arrow on the plastic wrap? Just pinch there and unwrap, no hassle. I remember the Stillen coming with a bit of plastic with tape wrapped around the actual bar.
The fit n finish AND packing is professional.
+1 I think we should run another one and notify people at the org about it this time as well..
We will have to see. It really depends on when and how many more braces come in on the next shipment.
The ETA is sometime around late summer/early fall but that can always change.
Damn... that is one FINE lookin' STB. Too bad it's not in my budget... (and too bad I already have the plain looking Stillen)
Sweet, I'll likely be in for the whole lower set (front + 2 rears) when it's all available. No need for an STB... but it does look purdy.
and we are sure they'll accommodate AWDs?
ATTENTION STILLEN EXHAUST OWNERS:
I got my bars today. I don't have the time to install today, but I did put the lower bar up against the mounting points. It might not fit. At least when I matched up the mounting holes to the bolts (without removing the nuts) the passenger side exhaust pipe is in the way. Perhaps it'll fit after removing the nuts for the actual install. Yes, it's that close! If it does fit, it'll definitely be touching the exhaust. I don't know if that will cause any vibration noise, or clanking sound from uneven roads. I'll attempt the install this weekend. I might have to losen and/or adjust the exhaust for it to fit.
Turbo: I know you have a Stillen exhaust. Have you tried installing the lower bar yet? If so, any issues or tips for getting around the exhaust?
TrainerKEN: I have an AWD, but a 35. It definitely fits my car (without the Stillen exhaust of course).

Thanks for the update. I am still curious to know if John or you will be able to get this mod done.
Definetly Keep ME posted.. Thanks again.
If its that close then it will definitely hit the exhaust when the FX is moving and it will not be a pleasing note. Let us know how it goes.
