Are you serious??? RMM STB for sale, really???
Take a look at what this guy is trying to sell on the 'auction site'....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
He claims he purchased it directly from RMM 3-4 years ago along with the CF engine cover and brake kit which he also has for sale.
I'd rather have the $29 ' bay STB!!
First of all, look at the STB..
The tower bar is not a solid aluminum CAD designed piece as RMM's but tube steel has three welded plates with stamped 'holes'. In addition, the signature Rod Millen machined engraving is replaced with a, get this Rod Millen Motorsports sticker LOL.
This seller stands by that it's authentic. PPPallleeasseeee!!
Here's the real deal: http://rhys-millen-racing.myshopify....-gs-suspension
In addition, he's also selling the CF engine cover which is RMM he states. Yet the cover is also missing the RMM signature engraving as well as the CF pattern is completely opposite of Rod Millen's CF pattern direction.
I exchanged several messages with the seller. He says he' got a receipt for these parts from RMM and they're authentic. When asked to send me a copy of the receipt he bailed.
He's also got the RMM brake kit for sale. Which looks fugezzi as well. Rotors don't match. And he says they're brand new!! I don't know to feel sorry for the guy for being scammed or he's the scammer.
Either way I am getting tired of seeing this aftermarket knock-off crap...

It appears the STB is a VERY old version of the RMM STB. I'm going to have to dig for old references to see for sure.
The Engine cover is legit. You can add on the RMM signature emblem, (it's not engraved into the cover) but it doesn't have to be on there to be legit.
The Brake Calipers are also legit (Though rotors are hokey) , but all RMM did was take Supra Brakes and re-badge them as RMM.
Not worth the asking price as anyone can make their own Supra BBK equivalent, set up.
This guy also tried to post on CL, but since he has no post count and just registered, so he couldn't post on the classifieds.
He also tried to post a classified in the NorCal Forums since this is his region, but that's a no-no as well.

Thanks for clarifying the brakes and the cover. It was the STB that had me in question to start...
It's got to be circa pre-2001.

That is a VERY old RMM strut bar in the ebay auction. its real....real old!. It was then replaced by the engraved polished one.
here is an older CL thread with that same bar and a picture for reference!

Ya, I'm with RMM, that looks familiar but pretty ancient. I didn't pay attention to the price but if someone wanted some Rod Millen stuff you could always blast that bar and have it painted/powder coated....just a thought....OP had good intentions...may want to set things straight withthe seller though if he's a member here.

I found this guy on craiglist selling his parts.
i met up with him to buy his New in Box OEM Headlamps... when i got there. i open the nicely sealed box and it was USED in Box OEM Headlamps.
wut a waste of time. as for the other parts.. it looks OK... but beware what he says New and Old since he had no indication his Lamps were USED IN BOX!!!
