Maybe for whatever reason your engine cover is sitting lower. Looks good though and if you say it's not making contact w/ the hood you're sitting fine!
All the strut bars I've seen (and all have the same part #s) show applications for 2007-08 G35 Sedans, 09 thru current G37 & Q40 Sedans, and 08 thru current G37 & Q60 Coupes, verts aren't listed
Maybe Cereal2k or Redfire32 might know for sure. If you can't get a confirmation you could always measure from center of strut tower to strut tower and I could check that measurement w/ mine.
while I am a disbeliever in strut braces, especially 3 piece aluminum ones, this tanabe can be had for $120 shipped from numerous websites. Just an FYI...
Well you guys sucked me into it. $130 is just such a good price for a brand name product; not to mention it looks amazing too! I should be getting mine tomorrow or on Monday, will report back
Turns out it's not as much space as I initially thought it was. It doesn't touch the engine cover and I still doubt I could shorten anymore and still attach the bar.
it fits well, but I had to extend the threads out like 1/2 inches each side.
the total length from end to end is about 33.75" OC.
how did you short the bar all the way? my sits low on the engine already.
btw, the strut bar gets damn hot since it's so close to engine cover.
Yeah, EVERYTHING under the hood gets simmering hot, those VQs are not a cool running setup for sure. At least my Injen SRIs use the stock plastic MAF pipes, those long tube intakes would be something else to burn my hands on
