I picked this up off of ebay. Its a NRG Innovations Carbon Fiber Strut Bar. They dont offer this on their site so Im not sure if it is a discontinued part or not. Its really nice. The weave pattern is very consistent and the finish on the products is nice and shiny. It was $150 shipped from the dealer.

Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks!

I was forever looking for that on ebay, all I could find was cheap ones wrapped in a carbon fiber looking sticker. Looks good, wish I would have found it.

that looks sick! but no NRG logo?

Yeah I thought it would have been included as an optional additive to the bar, but there was nothing like that in the box. Just the packaged strut bar and the NRG Innovations informational stuff....

Yeah I can put you in touch with the guy i bought mine from. You would save about $30 from the ebay link posted above.

mmmmm....... :tap: :tap: :tap: looks good and i like it better than the one i have..so who is the guy your talking about?

hey thanks for the email man...

yes sir!

jake

Notice any performance difference?
I have a megan strut bar sitting in my room waiting to go on, cant seem to get motivated enough to install it, lol. Plus is it just me, or does the strut tower seem to close to the fire wall to be flexing that much?

i drove it around a bit...but i usually dont go slinging around turn and what not...i got it more for show...im sure it has its benefits....it wasnt too difficult to install..it was kinda hard getting the nuts off on the backside but with a bit of work they came off...

jake

hmm looks good.

SERIOUSLY .. IT DOES LOOK GOOD....

Thanks for the link and info., but I already made my desicion on what i got, and matched everything else to that. It kills me that, thats what i wanted and noone had it at the time... Thanks anyways though!

does it feel light???

yes it is very light. i believe that it and the box was weighed by UPS at 4 pounds...so im thinking it weighs somewhere around 2 pounds... something like that....thanks guys for the input..

jake

too bad it's pricey

Do you know if the NRG bar is full CF or aluminum wrapped with CF?

Either way, it looks good.

I'm just wondering if it weighs more or less than the JIC bar. The JIC CF bar retails for over $300.00.

im not sure. the part number is the same partnumber as the Titanium strut bar on their site with CF added on the end...so it might be the titanium bar wrapped in CF. Im not 100% sure though.

That's not a titanium strut bar. It just has a "titanium color" finish on it.

After looking at the NRG website, I'm sure that's not a CF bar. It's aluminum wrapped with CF.

I got this pic from EBAY - you can actually see the welds in the aluminum (under the CF).

I'm not trying to put down the NRG bar. I just want a REAL CF bar, and the NRG bar is 1/2 the price of the JIC CF bar - so I had to check it out.

-Pete

yeah that pic you have doesnt reflect the bar i have on the ends. it also looks like that is a carbon fiber print. it doesnt really matter to me if it is wrapped or if its a solid CF bar...but im glad you were able to get your answer...
