Engine Bay Pics*Post here*
Nice shots Cal. Sean, nice strut bar, does the GT Spec one have better clearance than the NRG did on your hood?
Cal I tried to do the "see through shot" again and failed miserably...LOL. My edges never come out as "smooth" as yours. I'm practicing though, I'll figure it out soon.

what do you mean by edges? which edges?
1) take picture with hood closed
2) take picture with hood open
3) open both in photoshop (edit the one with the hood closed)
4) paste pic of hood closed on top
5) eraser tool 25% opacity at very soft (i do 0) set size to about 1/4 of hood
6) start erasing from the middle and work your way out. go over the middle a couple times to make it more transparent

Yes, the GTspec is much flatter and has a better arch to it. Even having it raise almost to the top it still clears the hood. Installing it is a PITA because it barely fits into the brackets and is slithly short so you have to get creative to get the bolts in. The result is very stiff! I has happy with the NRG bar but I bought this one because I thought it looked nicer...I was really suprised when I felt how much of a difference it made. I'm not looking forward to removing it for any engine work....not gunna be fun
