I am doing a custom project. If I succeed, I can make a few more to share

03-04 sedans will be the same as 05?
Do you road race or track your car? I guess a bar is just a bar.

Do you have a plenum spacer or aftermarket plenum? If you do, hows the clearance between the bar and your plenum and hood?

It will clear pretty much any plenum/spacer out there... But when the ARC STB is at the highest setting it DOES hit the roof of the hood... I was testing it out and the hood will close but it really wouldn't be recommended to leave it at that setting... Mines at the lowest setting and theres about half an inch of room... I have a 5/16 spacer... I like the strut tower bar... IT's NEEDED! ! !

Looks very clean... Did you have the lining under the hood removed for STB clearance?

I removed it at first because the setting i had the bar at was hitting... But now it's ok and i have the lining back on... I'm going to shave out the lining where the bar goes though... Just being lazy...

So the lining touches the bar at the lowest setting? If so, that might be a problem when installing the STB with the factory cover on. Thanks for the much needed info.

I saw a DC one for $125. Does anyone know if the DC one goes over the plenum? If so will it clear a plenum w/ a 5/8 spacer?
