Looks muscular. I might need to look into that one if the price is right.

Looks ok, but for the money, I like the beefy BMR model. I saw in 5.0 magazine some had his BMR chromed.

Looks good, but it looks like it's just barely above your plenum cover. Any issues with it rubbing, damaging the cover?

Also, anyone have any idea when the Roush strut tower brace will finally make it into production. I hate that they've had it in their catalog for ever and haven't actually made any!

yes it does rub, it pushes down on the cover too. I put two washers on each back studs to lift it up and it worked. still no problems, and handles the same. im still pleased with it.

I agree the BMR looks very beefy and we can make those as well but they sure are heavy. Sometimes you don't need a sledge hammer to hang a little picture on the wall. Please don't take this as a BMR bash because this was a GMS Post that caught my eye. If looks are what you want then get the one that looks the best to you. If what you want is function and a purpose part then really all you need is the $55.00 part

Yes, but they charge too much for shipping.

Hey Paul, thanks again for coming out to the show on Sunday. I didn't take notice of the rust spots, how bad is it? Do what I mentioned. Get the single, and have it painted to match the car. I'm going to have my body shop paint it this winter, when I'm not driving the car.

Well, don't drive it in the rain.
But seriously, why buy another bar? Just polish it again and clearcoat it or paint it whatever color you want.

Bar should not rust - send it back and I will replace it for FREE. These bars are made of polished stainless steel and should not rust
