I Vote VRT/RA's design... it's expensive, but I doubt that any other on here is as actively engaged as much as that design...

So, can we get some concurrence that the NRG is okay and the GT Spec is the way to go with no spacer AND running OEM Engine cover/intake?

Will I have any issues with either one clearing my setup and not rubbing hood liner?

+1 on the Stillen bar will not fit with a 1/2" spacer. I have an AAM angled spacer and the bar had to come off, haven't found a solution yet that does fit. Z-tube and Stillen intake, too. Didn't come close to clearing the plenum.

Unicorn Trunk/RTSB?

Not that I've seen, and I have been looking. My Stillen brace cuts the trunk by 1/4, I usually pull the spare and the deck if I need to actually carry any stuff, or put the rear seat down

Better than some, but not ideal yet.

Get the GT Spec bar. You won't regret it. Better constructed and better looking.

I really had to struggle to the the GT Spec bar to fit on my coupe. Had to keep all of the bracket nuts loose, struggle to fit the bar and then tighten everything down. I was a bit concerned that the top hat bolts and nuts might strip.

Anyone have some tips to compress the towers or do anything else to fit the bar easier??? Any maintenance that requires me to remove the bar will be a PITA.

Other than that the bar works as expected. Ride and cornering is more crisp, and the bar looks great.

And to confirm, I have 1/2" spacer, Ztube and engine cover. GT Spec is adjustable and fits without rubbing the hood lining.

Thanks
