It's Progress, not Progressive Insurance lol
Cusco Front strut bar is a No brainer to install. All you need to do is to open up your hood, match the plate and bolt it up. However, Progress RSB will give you REAL-LIFE improvement over the strut bar. Installation is not that hard for RSB if you know what you are doing. Even if you go to a mechanic for install, the max will be under $30.
Looks and easy install - Front strut.
Better performance - RSB > Front strut.

boost owns
Cusco Type OS Front Strut bar = ten minutes, tops, to install. Minimal noticable handling difference, mainly engine-bay bling.
Progress RSB = immediate world of handling difference, but more work to install. While Chuson is correct that it's theoretically simple, if you live in the rust belt or have an older TSX, getting the hex nuts off the endlinks can be torturous. I accomplished it with a can of PB Blaster, a lot of swearing, and a lot of time.
Good luck.

i agree with Audioserf and Cushon, the RSB makes a night and day difference. It isnt that bad to install either.... and if you screw up an endlink just buy some new ones from Mr. HeelToe like i did. i stripped the bolt where the hex key goes when i was removing the top portion of the link to do a suspension install. Its on there good and tight but i wanted new ones just to be safe (thats my excuse). The nut and the bolt were really rusty and the damn thing stripped with about a turn and a half left to go before it was off... now i'm getting off topic.
imho get the RSB. you wont be disappointed...
