I hate stupid little crap like this! They sent the bar, but the bracket to the passenger side is wrong, so it won't install. It hits the frame coming down in front of where the passenger side one would go. Basically I received a bar with two driver side brackets

Don't be nervous.

Its a simple litlle mistake DONE BY DUMBSHITS WHO NEVER MADE IT PAST THE THIRD GRADE, AND NOW THEY ARE SELLING AUTO PARTS LIKE DEALERS TO A CRACK FEIND.

nope, and they want me to send it back to them, well just the brackets, so I have to pay to send something back that I didn't screw up! :mad:
But then again, I'll never forget when I bought the same type of bar for my previous civic. They sent me two, and I sold the other one. What goes around comes around

? ummmm....no, I don't think your on the same track. it's just a bracket that is easy to remove from the strut. I'm sending both back so they can know which ones to send.

:D okay, got ya, you were confusing me, then again, I'm working on my calculus right now, go figure. I think it's more trouble than it's worth, plus I'd have to pay more probably, and I don't know of a shop around here that will have enough time to do it, with my busy schedule
thanks though

ah, nothing to do with the car, they just sent me two brackets for the driver side, instead of one for the driver side and another for the passenger side. I'll be sending the brackets back today.
