Strut Bar?

Anyone knows where I can get a strut bar for 97 3.2TL?
Do they even make one?

Probably not. You'll have to remove your engine cover though.

you need to remove the rubber stoppers on the hood and take off the engine covers. Thats It. I would recomend getting some legend engine covers though cuz they look alot better with it. A guy from this site might be using mine to mold some carbon fiber ones soon maybee if you are interested we can get in on a group buy or something.

I went to that site, what year and what door style will fit our cars? I noticed you could pick from 91 - 95 two/four door types for the strut bar...

thats what I was thinking, '95 four door. Do you have this, and was it worth it? I also didnt see a bar without "legend" on it...do you just have to ask for that special?

No no!! don't do that. Just call up the guy and ask him to do one with out the Legend or if you want something else on there he can prob do that too.
Thats what I did.

You can see pics of mine on cardomain.com under the name

slownlow32tl, all you had to do was take the engine cover off to get that to fit? And i must ask, what kind of cold air intake is that, and did you need any mod's to get that to fit? I'm new with the TL and still have lots of work to go!

p.s. was the strut bar worth it...or could you feel a decent difference?

its not really worth the money. not for a TL. maybe a 6 speed legend coupe, but not a TL. its just a cosmetic feature

you definately will feel a slight difference in the turning but i feel you dont need it because its not like your autocrossing your car or anything. so thats why i said its pretty much a cosmetic feature

I feel like it helps in cornering a bit but not like a huge gain or anything, but i also have alot of other stuff done as well. You also would have to remove the little bumpers where the hood meets the place for the bolts, but thats it. I ordered my intake from procarparts.com. it is the newer prelude cold air intake but i cut it to work for our cars and it was very simple. Very good mod for the money, i would just get a K&N filter for it (thats what i did) with a drycharger on it for the whole water thing.
