I wish the HR would get some love. Ti strut bars FTW

 

Nice Rick. Glad those parts went to a good home.

Strut bars for the HR:

speaking of which, the ASM ones are ready to go

 

Final flag for sure... they run about 7-800 bones. Will those front ones fit on non-HR's ? - looks like they will if you dont have a obstructing catch can setup. Very nice...

 

I know about those, but one of those core support bars would look nice with the FF strut bar

 

to poor that those won´t fit with my Ing´s V2 hood nor with "DE engines"
( yes i know it´s possible to modify everything to go with the DE...but i´m not really into spending money for something that won´t fit in the end)

 

no modifications are needed for the ASM core brace to fit the DE - as long as you don't run a stock airbox, it fits just fine. Not sure on the ARC one, have not seen it first hand yet

 

Mine. He's already got enough rare stuff. He's got the Fujitsubo Ti on his car.

 

The stock one is cool and functional

 

ARC FTW.

The FF is nice, but the burnt portions are a bit much for my taste...

 

+1

why spend $700-800 on a strut bar when you can get an ARC one for $400-500?

 

because this FF one is made by Arc (outsourced) as well and is just as rare, if not more so?

 

Also to add to geauxladyz's point, the ARC one new is about the same price anyhow. You pay to have something that is rare and no one else will have. Basically the same reason why people will go out of there way for a part that is rare.

 

^ Only you do that kind of stuff.

 

I say get the FF version for the rarity factor!

 

I know that. That is also probably why I had a Final Flag Strut bar.

 

ARC new is about 1/4 more expensive

 

Carbing is a nice alternative.

 

pff..tell me where you can get a ARC STB for 400~500 retail, unless you get it directly from ARC factory in shizuoka like I do.

 

it's not anywhere near $400 or $500 at the "factory" either - it's around $800 after tax if you buy it directly from ARC at their offices (plus the price of the plane ticket )

in the $450-$550 range would fetch a used one though, but there are not too many that come up for sale - cetainly not a common part
