With the APS Tall Boy Plenum, Crawford Plenums, & spacers that raise the height of the OEM plenums, is there any other strut bars out there that is available or being developed BESIDES the current APS, Crawford, & Stillen strut bars??? Although they all do their purpose, I'm looking for something that visually looks more appealing. Sure you can polish these but the overall design is just so bland
(no offense to any of these Mfg.). Has anyone else out there fabricated one?

Guess no one else is making one though with the lack of posts on this thread. For all those fabricators out there...take note. We need more options!

Yeah, I understand that they can't make a strut over these types of plenums. They can keep the overall location of the Crawford, APS, & Stillen strut bars but I just wished they did a little more towards styling. IMO they just look like someone just slapped it together with a welder (no offense intended).
I have the Cusco over the Kinetix V4. Needed some spacers & a lot of patience doing trial & error w/ a clay ball to test if it was rubbing the hood. No all bolts have the same amount of spacers as you would like the strut to be on a slight incline. Also, you are able to view the strut bar clearance below against the plenum by viewing it from the inside looking towards the front w/ the hood open. It was worth it though once you get the perfect clearance.
