Think this would replace our current upper strut bar. I just thought it looked really cool. And for $140, it's not too expensive. Not sure if would provide any value over the stock strut bar. Any thoughts?

Hey Rice, does this replace the black upper strut bar or does it go under it or over it?
I thought I remember seeing someone that had both the stock strut bar and an aftermarket both on the car.

I would think that the factory 4 point strut tower bar would be more effective than a 2 point bar..

Ed,
I think it's 5 point.
NSXNext,
You could take the OEM off but there are some brackets for some wire harnesses and stuff. If you do, gotta find something to hold up the harness.

You would have to make mounting brakets to mount the stuff that is on our stock one, with the one you buy, like Tanner said

Just to add on to Tim's comments......
The OEM would be better, not only for the wire harnesses but for the fact that the OEM Strut Bar also bolts down to the firewall, were the one you want doesn't. So it may look better but won't work as well.
