Looks awesome man. How did you prep/paint it? I'm sure others would like a DIY guide to painting the bar.

i sanded off all the silver finish that came on it then wiped it all down. Used a bare metal primer spray paint. The 4-5 coats of the black, taped it all off to do the red (3 coats) then there's atleast 9 coats of clear on it.

For those of you whom are istalling Richie's bar . . . Please remember to remove the bar prior to having any work performed on your cars, which will require the removal of the said bar.

When I had my Tein coilovers installed, I removed the bar and left the 2 brackets in place. I didn't want the installer putting a crease in my hood upon closing it, if he had not reinstalled the bar at its lowest setting.
