I received the strut bar about 1-2 weeks ago. Shipping was very quick, it only took one day. But I spent the past few days polishing it to match the crawford plenum, which I had polished previously.

Started with 80 grit flapwheel on the dremel to strip off the powdercoat. I have pics of the bar as it arrived, but I think we all know what the stock CS bar looks like.

I then moved onto a 120 grit flapwheel, then some hand sanding with 320 grit paper (the only wet paper I had), then the usual polishing wheels with a rotary drill.

I had to take off my 1/4" spacer. I also had to grind down the head on the front bolt on the plenum to create clearance.

I haven't had a chance to drive that much, so I can't give a driving impression yet.

 

wow, bling bling!

 

Looks great! You should polish your popcharger heat shield, i polished mine and it came out pretty good.

 

nice and shiny! does it rub your hood?

 

Looks good, complete that by doing the throttle body, and heat sheild
