Question Tein Strut Brace

Done a search and couldn't find anything...

Recently fitted a Tein Strut Brace to my 8 and as expected the engine cover no longer fits. Has anyone managed to mod their cover to fit over the Tein?

I've had a look and unless I'm wrong it's going to need an aweful lot trimming off in order to fit.

Where did you get the tein? I thought it was discontinued a long time ago.

Wasn't aware that Tein had stopped producing them :S

I got it from Camskill (http://www.camskill.co.uk/) they were a good £20-30 cheaper than anyone else.







I may end up leaving the cover off just think the bay looks empty without it though.

Yeah I found it on the Tein site a year or so ago and when I inquired with vendors they all said it was discontinued (in the U.S. I believe)

That color would go PERFECT with the Lambo green RX-8!
