I doubt it is lighter than stock, but I have heard it is stiffer, and looks killer. I have one for sale right now... looking to get around $200+ shipping.

Got one on my car as well. Weight is about the same. If you want one we sell them, http://www.performancenissanparts.co...roducts_id=309 but for $200.00 plus shipping from wren57... you should jump on it! Click on my link above and click on the picture to enlarge the picture on our website. That's my car with one installed.

Isn't the CF one not really CF. I thought it was wrapped in the CF sticker stuff. But it is lighter than stock.

honestly, it looks like crud IMHO...its simply the alumimum bar with carbon over it, and there were tons of bubbles in the one bar we ever got from JIC..so I chose not to offer it for sale.

It's definitely not stiffer than the stock one either thats for sure....you can look at the 2 designs and tell what the superior front brace is

Uummm...who cares...it's negligible...if it is lighter...it's by grams...maybe a pound or two...you're better off laying off the twinkies for a week or wearing lighter shoes than worrying whether the carbon bar is lighter than stock...
