Can I see some pictures of both sides of the strut bar mounted on... and how close it sits to the engine. I also want to see how it fits around the intake and the AC line... or whatever that thing is thats next to the intake.

More pictures

The STB fits great and leaves access to the oil fill cap and dipstick no problem. Here is some pics of the STB on Eagle 1's (a VRT customer) car that they put on today...........













Get ahold of (WA2GOOD) Scott at VRT if you want one.

Looks great, really interested, depending on price. Hopefully it'll be less than $300.

Would the bar be stiffer if it didn't have the hinge joints on each side?

Exclamation price

Unfortunately, it wouldn't make sense to produce these STB's for less than $400. (4130 chromoly and powder coating and hardware add up) Price might go up later, just trying to get it out there.
$400 will be the starting price for it powder coated (gloss black will be the standard color) and with all necessary hardware and instructions. I can do other colors (and chrome) for a "reasonable" additional price.

If interested, email me at wa2good@hotmail.com

Thanks.
