I should have waited to see how the powder coating looked like before deciding. The candy red brackets would look sick with my red CAI.

Google should email you a shipping confirmation with tracking. Your bar should ship tomorrow.

Can you please email me with the sticker request. I don't have your user name linked with your real name.

I've been following the progress of these on and off since it was first brought up and I've got to give it to you Richie. These things look fantastic!

I know it's been asked before but I can't find it right now. Is there a significant benefit to this on a stock [suspension] Type-S? I know this provides clearance for the Tein EDFC motors which I may or may not have down the road. Independent of that, what kind of upgrade does this provide?

I almost want to get one just based on how it looks!

doest get any easier... 6 bolts.... probably a 10 or 12 mm dont remember

if you still got your stock bar on, its also like 6 bolts to remove, but there are a few bolts or clips that secure the fusebox to it and shit (depending on the year of your car)

Wait, didn't someone say drilling was involved for install?

And the sticker is free isn't it? I forgot to tell Richie I wanted a black one, darn.

Only $150 + $15 (PC Bar) the brackets come PCed black. You only have to pay if you want brackets other then black.

So a total of $165

The drilling is optional. The sticker is free I think a gave you a black one, if not you got a red one.

Got mine today...

Bar and brackets are great! Well worth the wait. I'm sure the torque specs are all over the place, but I didn't have them. So I set the bigger nuts to 80lbs nd the smaller nuts to 60lbs. Everything went fine until the last small nut... I sheered the bolt right off. Fuck! Being only one bolt and being one of the smaller bolts as to boot, do you think it'll be fine or am I going to have a problem???

Jesus H. Christ!!! I just found the torque specs...the bar is 16 ftlbs and the flange nuts are 37 ftlbs. I'll adjust them but am I still still good to go not being able to tighten down a flange nut??

FYI... you gotta remove the master cylinder cap to be able to really get access to the bolts that connect the bar to the brackets
