A minor difference, it may have been psychological though. I believe it's more of an engine dress up than anything.

Don't have a pic, but mine is just stock looking & clean. I like stock looking. I hide all my aftermarket wires in black wire loom.

on neuspeed's website (www.neuspeed.com) the black Front Upper Tie Bar is $119.95, while the polished Front Upper Tie Bar is $139.95. I'm not sure how much pai spent on his, but $120 isn't bad, especially w/ free shipping.

I picked it up for $100 CAD including shipping (about $85 USD). I originally bought it for my Accord, but never had the chance to install it until I picked up my CLS.

Oh I know, you drive like an animal. Still impressed you drive to all your shows.

Just saying, its not like its a daily driver so its gonna stay a little cleaner.

Like I said, I know. I've driven down with him from Philly to Maryland for a meet. Just saying, its hard to compare with a daily driver, its obviously gonna get much dirtier.
