Wow, that looks nice! +1 on if you can make it fit the aftermarket plenums/spacers but I have a feeling even though it'll fit over those plenums, it will hit the hood.

Sorry still no install pics. We need atleast 10 people ready to buy in order for this item to be available. Due to high cost on carbon fiber material now, we need to have them pre order. So price is $319 full deposit 3-4 weeks deliver time. If not reach 10 epole full refund will be returned. I'm open to any suggestions. Let me know. Thanks!

Thanks, I know I should update the site now. Too busy with new items and forgot the most important part.

This struts bar design is similar to greddy struts bar. If greddy one clears, this one will too.

Jay you gotta get some installed pics so we can see fitment etc. better. Thats alot to shell out for a STB without knowing about fitment.

thanks nice pics. The bar looks good too. I am a little concerned about fitment with my setup (the MAF housing is right under the bar plus I have a plenum spacer)...gonna sleep on it.

It looks awesome and I'm sure the quality is top notch, (just like the CF engine cover I bought from you), but it's hard to think that this one has less flex and better strength than the OE one.

Werd it looks like the drivers side is not even bolted up. How do you adjust for differences in cars and how do you put tension on the shock towers with no tensioner? Basically this is just a cosmetic mod then?
