I don't like the color much, but it's a great design though. It would looked 10x better if you painted to match your car color.

Bored?? Why dont you take an hour out and clean that filthy, disgusting engine bay. That strut bar is cool, but looks out of place without a layer of dirt on it.

Looks good. I contacted them about buying that bar, but just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Pic's like this make me lean towards doing it soon. Altspace is right... you need to lose the zip ties.

If you get bored again wipe the dirt out of that engine bay. The color looks good.

Is that a mazsport cooling upgrade? If so how do you like it, notice a dfference?

Also is that a voltage reulator zip tied to the bar, don't worry im not flaming you about the zip ties. What brand is that if it is and how do you like it.

I like the strut bar, the rotor in the middle is tight!

Ok, I know I'm picky about details but.....I think it would flow better if the rotor in the center was facing with the point going forward. Just as the hood shape. Though it looks like you can't switch it around with the TB clearance.
