What do you have and how hard was the installation? I'm looking into this because I'd like to buy one for my boyfriend and was just interested on your experiences with them. So... enlighten me!
have u found any anywhere? i can't seem to find them anywhere for a good price!
Autoimaging (http://www.autoimaging.com) has rear STB's for the s14(and s13). Aluminum for $175 shipped and carbon fiber for $245 shipped. You definately have to cut your back deck but I think thats it. I don't have one so I don't know what else you have to do. Try e-mailing or calling autoimaging.

Check out the post in the STB install thread that reappeard and linked to the old STB install thread. I reference the two types - one requires cutting the read deck, the other goes in the trunk area.

I got my Nismo RSTB for $260 shipped from www.nismoparts.com That's a #### good deal, considering most places I've seen it at sell it for 300 + shipping. Strange thing is, their site is no longer up...Anyone know anything about this? From what I remember they were based out of a Seattle Nissan dealership. I think Shawn at Autoimaging can get the Nismo RSTB too...Don't forget...It's the only one that comes up out of the parcel shelf! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I do like the look of the Cusco too. I know someone that has both the Cusco and the Nismo RSTB on their S14. He's supposed to be sending pictures of it. I couldn't put the Cusco on because my CD changer is where the Cusco goes. Here's a pic (not the best) of my RSTB:

It's not cheaper...that's the same price I paid...It was 260 WITH shipping. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Not too bad considering it got to me within' a week. I was surprised when everyone I talked to that got theirs from Autoimaging said it was taking forever!

See, I heard the Nismo one was a lot more than $260... it doesn't sound that bad, really. Chris, I remember you telling us something about installation, but was it hard at all?

I wouldn't say it was hard, but it took a little time to figure out where to cut the rear parcel shelf. I'm sure your boy could figure it out. Pretty straight forward install...Just mount the end links, find where to cut the parcel shelf, cut the shelf and put it back in, mount the sway bar and you're done! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
