Upper strut brace for FX50?

[santiagodraco]

Can't seem to find a brace that looks like it will work, Stillen or otherwise. According to the Stillen site it "will NOT work".

Anyone know of any braces available that will work on the 50?

Thanks!

GT Spec Front Strut Bar Infiniti FX35 / FX50 09-up Model # GTS-SUS-1388

I just installed this product on my FX50. Note: You must remove the engine cover to be able to install it on the FX50. This one would install on the FX35 perfectly but the FX50 has a different bigger engine cover. I had to remove it to install it. Installed it and everything is find, I have to custom make the engine cover so that I can restore the engines look though the engine cover will go on TOP of the Strut brace and not the opposite. Overall stability increased. No increase in roughness as the FX50 is rough enough.

make sure to writ up how you modified your engine cover. Cuz i will wan tto do this.



Oh and now I don't feel so bad your engine bay is as dirty as mine. lol

George: So the GT spec strut bar fits good on our 50's and can reuse the engine cover on top? What's smallworm85 talking about it ?

Can you please post up some pictures George ?
