So I'm about to install a strut brace like this on my 3.0 but it looks like there's a lot of shit in the way on the passenger side, where the round bracket bolts down. Anyone with a 3.0 use a brace like this and know about clearance with things being in the way? The stuff under the stock bar that I circled? U can't really see it but any 3.0 owner who has a brace like this should know what i'm talkin about.

the apr strut bar was a bitch to get on. I had to unbolt the fuse box and some few other things on the pass side and take off and move some other things on the drivers side since the mounts are so huge. Also, anyone that is putting on any new strut bar will need to cut off this metal tab on the pass side.
anyways, heres a pic of it installed, you can kinda see what I had to move on the sides

Looks hawt, I have a feeling I'm gonna be moving a lot of stuff too.
Now klep you need to get a blue intake to match your wires and strut bar J/P I know you're paintin your valve cover red. That'll look sweet red white and blue.

Thank you, the answer I was looking for. Was the mount able to be unbolted or did you have to cut it with a dremel or something?
I used a hammer and a flathead......just keep pounding at it at an angle.

Looks really good.
You should take your valve cover off, strip it, mask off the VTEC and paint it with some red "crinkle" paint. That would be an inexpensive, tastefull mod to dress up the engine bay a little bit. I think it would look really good since your intake is red and your car is white.

klept - question bro.. how's that tower bar feel? Does it make the car feel stiffer than stock? Also, is there anywhere that sells a red bar to match the rest of the interior?
If not, i'll take your word on how much better the car feels. Also, how much did the paint on the valve cover cost?
