Title: LOOK
Post by: turby on September 26, 2002, 06:15:01 PM
I got my STB yesterday. I can't believe how noticeable it is having it on there. Here's a few pics. It still needs painted,though. Hopefully this weekend.

You can get it from your local GM dealer for about $10-20. It's the 97+ Buick Regal strut tower brace.

cool, hey, where did you get your throttle body to intercool pipe (air)? I have noticed the plastic piece gets way too hot.

I'll never tell. :mrgreen:  It is the stock pipe, painted with engine enamel and engine clearcoat.

Hey waskie, what makes you think my crossover is leaking? Maybe I like the exhaust smell and discolored parts on there. Why don't you buy me a new one? Actually I plan on getting one here real soon.

Just incase anyone else wants the strut brace the part # is 12456148 $16.38 fits front and rear strut towers (little drilling needed for rear but no biggie) and when you call or go to the dealer DO NOT SAY STB!  They will scratch there heads in :shock: ! you must tell them you need a "(F-bar kit)"

12456148 is 7.80 per bar X 2 = 15.60 + 7.95 shipping = 23.55 from GMPartsDircet.com

Does anyone have an extra stock brace that goes from the strut tower to the radiator support on the drivers side. The one that I guess you remove to get the battery out. I say I guess because mine was missing when I got the car. If anyones got one, I would like to buy it :)
