I have not had a problem with it braking either, but I am repainting my streeter and **** is mint and I dont want to scratch it up with my shoes. Maybe I will just put some of that clear vinyl **** over the paint or something.

+1 I see people putting them on F4i's as well, but I don't see the need for it. When doing SS, most of my weight is on the rear seat and it supports it no problem.

That's what I've also heard, but I guess that I'm standing more on the rear seat then the tail.

I split my seats like that with my feet and still cracked them a lot.

Maybe if I just did straight line seat standers I wouldn't have, but definitely doing circles (putting pressure on the sides of the tail) and comboing back and forth (which didn't always leave me with perfect footing) caused them to break.

Re: 05-06 636 Tail Saver

Just put some StompGrip on and call it a day. You can get a Universal kit that will give you enough to do your tail and possibly tank too. PM me if you need to know where to get it.
