WOW that is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I think I'm going to get that. The only other CF one I saw was dry carbon by evo-r and it was a bulky round tube shape, not as sleek as this. Thanks for posting that man, you made up my mind about the bar. Now for the plenum....Matte black, Polished, wrinkle red, or what?!

Haha no problem dude!! I also like that the strut bar is flat and not round like a lot of other ones.
Wrinkle red could look good, but I'd have to see it first. My only worry is that since the plenum cover is so big, that it might just be too much red. See if anyone can photoshop your plenum to red so you can see if you like it or not before doing it. I think you can pull it off though.

How thick is your plenum spacer? Make sure it fits before buying the strut bar. It seems like it fits with the 5/16th spacer. I'm not sure about others though.

Mine is the 5/16th spacer, but my plenum came with strut tower spacers as well so I don't think fitment should be a problem. But YES if someone can find a pic of a wrinkle red plenum or photochop mine, that would be awesome!!!!! Its a tough choice man

Make a thread in the photoshop section and ask someone to photoshop the plenum for you.

I would recommend fading in redline paint for the cover (see Leemik's hood) and buying a Greddy Strut bar and painting the bases red.
