[QUOTE="Tob, post: 11566856, member: 83412"] It's done and not without caveat. More on that in a bit. If it'll help anyone else pondering the same, I took some comparison shots of my modified STB next to the stocker. For the flamboyant GT500 owners out there, I used a pink theme just for you. [ATTACH=full]294413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294414[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294416[/ATTACH] Yeah, the lighting I had going on stunk. What with it snowing pretty good today here, I really wasn't in the mood to pull the car out in search of better natural light (we don't see the sun until late may anyway around here:(). So my apologies if the level of detail isn't up to par. Again, here's the stock bar in place on the passenger side but resting on the CAI tube on the drivers side... [ATTACH=full]294417[/ATTACH] And here's my V1.0 STB in place and fastened... [ATTACH=full]294418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294424[/ATTACH] The bar makes contact with the hood blanket at the driver side far extreme. I could take it off (I've already had it on and off two or three times for various TF vent installs) and not worry about it but I think I'll just trim it carefully and tastefully. Were a V2.0 in the works, I'd probably be able to hug the CAI tube just a little more - I have 1/2" of clearance at the closest point right now. No biggie. Anyway, its on there for now and all is well. [/QUOTE]
