When I installed mine I had to trim some nismo diff. When I posted the picks I instagram bell replied right away and said it should have zero issues. They just revised their website. Use to say will fit on any diff cover. Now it mentions you might have to modify.
Picks are on Instagram bmpboosted

I just saw your picture, looks good. That's not too much trimming. But those of us with Fast Intentions exhaust are screwed it looks like.

Installation of this brace may require partial removal of the rear differential

When you have SPL solid diff bushings. There is no movement. The diff sits where it sits.

They may not have thought about that when the made the mount. Maybe they figured there would be enough movement to be able to fudge the diff enough to be able to install the bolt.

Something else I forgot to mention. On the bends of the brace. There is weld beads on the bends? The only thing that I can figure out. Is that when they bent the metal to shape. The metal cracked at the bends and they welded over the cracks to hide them. :shakes head: Piss poor.

Wonder if it gets reviewed first before they put it up.

Well I guess I lucked out by not jumping on the early band wagon! I was hoping that it would work too.
