Could anyone confirm aprox. cost of VRT strut brace.I emailed Scott,he said the brace is 450.00,shipping&handling to Sacramento,CA is 417.00.This sounds ridiculously high to me . I've had a set of 4 rims shipped from San Diego to me and that only cost 80.00.
Thanks,
Mark

I just took off about 2-3mm off my passenger side bracket with a dremel and was able to put my liner back on! I did chip some of the black powder coat off with my rubber mallet but no big deal since I don't drive around with my hood open. =) It does contact the hood liner but I am still amazed that something like this was even designed the way is was and still fits under the hood. The ARC one is just plain odd looking and I am SURE it's not as thick as the VRT one. My G feels SO solid now... I'll post pics in a little bit.

Dam it!!!! I don't have time to put mine on before the N. Bay run tomorrow. I received it yesterday afternoon (08/25). It's a decent looking piece of equipment. I won't have time to install until at least Monday but I'll bring it along to the N. Bay run in case anybody wants to see it before it's installed.

Cool, Mike . . . Please bring it with you. Perhaps, I can see how the dry fittment of the side supports is. Assuming that this particular part fits both the Sedan and Coupe.

I just got my bar in the mail from a previous owner that didn't use it. I'm hoping that it's as easy as everyone says it is. I'm pretty savvy as far as getting stuff installed.... but however, lol, I'm probably going to be getting it installed somewhere else. haha darn my non-savvy side.
