Dry Carbon front Strut bar

Check out our new dry carbon front strut bar. Most of carbon fiber strut bar you see on the market are carbon fiber overlay steel material. Those are just for looks. Our is fully made of carbon fiber only. They are hot pressed with metal cast molding server times. As you can see from photo 2 people stand on top of it and step on and down. It is very strong hold. I should have installed pics soon. Price is $399.
forum member price: $319 plus shipping.

Does the bar sit higher, lower or exactly the same height of the stock bar? If you can make changes to it easily, you may want to make it higher to accomodate all the new plenums and spacers available.

+1 for making it higher, i would definately buy one if it was higher, then i would have a reason to get it other than lighter weight and looks, i could use a BIG plenum spacer

+1 I like but concerned about fitment with a plenum spacer and aftermarket intake (or turbo kit). Any chance you have tried it with either the MD spacer or a TNetics kit?\

I can stand on my stock strut bar and it doesn't break either...

I bet it's about 3 lbs or so lighter than stock

How come all aftermarket strut bar manufacturers ignore the fact that the Z's stock strut bars come with a pretensioner bolt to apply pressure against the mounts?
