Default Installation of the "Nose Job"

So I'm one of those guys that has the following motto: "Nothing is as easy as it seems". Well I have to say installing the Anti Splat Aero nose strut brace apparatus was actually as easy as Allen states in his on-line video. Took me about an hour to install and there were no surprises. I had to give the clamp a nice tap with my rubber mallet, but it popped on there ok. My tire/wheel is currently out for the mod and between those two upgrades I'm feeling a lot better about things up front. To me the extra money was worth the peace of mind. Hope this is helpful.

Dave,

The weight is negligible. Not much to it really, just the brace, clamp and some bolts. Maybe a pound or so. Allan with Anti Splat would know.

Good luck,

Wes

Default Nose Job Weight

I just talked to Allan Monday about this. The Nose Job weighs 30 oz. He is a good salesman. I have one on order.
