Strut bar fabrication

How many people would be really interested on getting a strut bar for the 2004-2008 acura TL?
Back in the day, while I was in my 95 Legend, finding upgrade parts for my car was not easy. Most of them had to be custum made. HMS, honda motoring perfomance, was one of the many companies we, at the Acura-legend forums used. They had made a very nice strut bar for us, the difference in the handling was like night and day. This is one of the finish product the made for us

I'm planning on having them make on for me for my TL and can have John kauffman, the owner make as many as we want. But for that will need to have some serious buyers.
This is there webside and surf it to see some of the stuff they did.

There is a need for a gen3 bar that allows fitment of Tein EDFC motors on the top of the shocks
Preferance given to units with brake master cylinder stabilzer bar- and places to attch all the stuff on a normal TL upper front bar just like OE

If they can do that- there will be a line out the door~

Both cosmetic and efficiency

the problem is: the current aftermarket bars available do not allow room for the motors of the Tein EDFC unit for their shocks.
Any unit would need to accomadate that in order to make any big sales.
An additional brace for the brake master would be a great idea.
Have someone push the brake pedal while you look under the hood- lots of movement at the firewall
