Default Phase 1 of being ARC'd

Just had the ARC Ti Strut bar installed. Upon tightening the bolts, i noticed that the driver's side was touching against the plenum, so i had to used four small washers to create a slight clearance. Overall, i am very happy with the result. There will be more ARC stuff to come...stay tuned.

Thats only if you buy it brand new. I don't think even new cost nearly as much if you find the right vendor.

looks like that arc strut is from an early production run--newer ones look a tad different.

True, the newer production has the black emblem.

ARC strut looks great...i think you should do a wire tuck too since there's a lot of wires running through your engine bay...

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, those wires will be tucked away as soon as i can get my hand on the Nismo v2 engine cover, which, i would need to modify for the plenum.
