I have that fpb on my green cab and yes, it needs new holes drilled. I installed the Gert FPB on another car and his version requires no drilling.

Not exactly $60, try $254.99...

IMHO these should really be designed with flat oval tubes that don't stand so proud of the underbody.
I took my Gert FPB off after having it on for a few months. I found that I scraped in places that I did not scrape without it (like my own driveway). I think it should be made from 1/4" flat bar stock. But I'm not the one making them, so I should just shut up.

No, mine is not for sale.
