It looks just like the FRPP front. The FRPP front is blue and adjustable, it has three holes, you choose the level you want it at. I went with the middle position.
i got mine off of ebay. bid on an auction, not a buy it now. ive heard you can get the front takeoff from steeda or saleen... not sure which one, for like 30 bucks. but ebay's the place to go. you cant get the bolts though, (if youre a regular 6) so you'll spend like 10 bucks at home depot for them, make sure you get locking nuts. but yeah. i got mine for 81, and the shipping was 49, so i think i got a good deal on them.
the PP just adds a rear sway to the stock V6 sway. the fronts only 26mm.
It's saleen from what I hear that sells the front sway for 30 bucks but if going to get both would like to get from same place so don't have to pay shipping twice
07lane40, what size wheels are you running? I want to upgrade my wheels and tires, but on the FRPP site, it says you have to have steering limiters, and lists different parts numbers if going from 16" to 17" and 17" to 18". Did you install any limiters? If not, are you having any rubbing or contact issues with those installed? I found out where they actually install, on a different forum, the guy had pics of them, not a good write up like Tacobill though. It requires removal of the outer tie rod end from the spindle, removing the inner boot clamp, unscrewing the inner tie rod connection, and sliding out the old (if you have them) and installing the new. Then reversing the procedure. Seems like a lot of work, but I haven't heard from anyone on here about any issues. Just wondering. When I bought the car last summer, I posted the question in the tire tech section, but never got any answers.

So with the steering maxed out, you don't rub or scrape? Cool pics of you car, love the color! I only plan on going to 18x9, bullitts. I'm going with the same size tires all the way around. I like to rotate them on a schedule. As long as I stay away from the directional tires, I'll be good to go. Did you get the TPMS sensors installed? I'm trying to decide if I'm going to do that or not. Tirerack wants $330 for them installed. Then I'd have to get them activated. It's that, swap my sensors over after the fact from the stockers, or leave them off.
I went to discount tire, ordered my rims and tires and they pulled the sensors from my stock rims, put new bands on for the TPMS and activated them. Cost me $50 bucks total for the band and labor of moving them over. I get no rub at all, they work great. I think tirerack is expensive.
I've been eye balling the deep dish bullitts at american muscle, the shelby torq thrust at tire rack. I want to go with the anthracite. I've also been eyeing the take off bullitts at newtakeoff.

I was trying to decide between the DD bullits from AM and the razors from AR. I went with the razors because they are a little different. the torq thrust are nice, but just arent for me.
A little off topic, Oddysey nice looking ride! What front facia/bumper do you have and where did you get it. Also, how did your gear install go at SP?

GT take-off front/rear from newtakoff.com. And my gear install went great, SP is a little weird because they are total gear heads so not the most customer service oriented, but they did great work.
mine are 20" ASA's. no rubbing problem except if you turn it as hard left(or right im not sure but its only one way) as you can it rubs lightly. not anything to worry about though. theyre just trying to sell you another part to make more money. worry about rubbing if you go wider than 255's on the front. mine are 255's and rub only a little. but anything wider than 255 is overkill imo.
I don't know about 20s but for 18s most places including tirerack and discount tire would recommend a 255/45/18 tire for the front or all around if want to rotate
