It does look very good!

Looking forward to see your next mods.

I've heard they are very rare and very expensive. I've done some research about it and no luck so far.

Yeah you most likely won't find one. I have only see pictures. Just got confirmation my cusco bar should be here tomorrow. Hopefully. Idk if anyone has felt with JSC Speed but they are fast with delivery and great customer service and low prices along with racing solution. Check them out.

I paid 202.86 after shipping for the Cusco strut bar. I like the colors and I think I'm going to go with blue exterior lighting

I have a Cusco strut bar on mine as well. After a few months the polished bar ended up looking like crap even after buffing it so I painted mine

Yeah I mean it is definitely a pain. A lot needs to be taken apart but I work on cars every day and I always find it easy to work on something new. You do have to really pry on the metal holder for the plastic good shrouding and where the windshield wipers attach but once you get that it's fine. Thanks for your input though everyone. I want to do a few more things but idk how long it will take.

Why do you need to remove the plastic cowl? You can't install it any other way? When I did my springs I didn't remove the cowl, even with my fat hands I was able to get the nuts no problem. Maybe with the strut bar its different.

You need to remove the cowl because the bar screws into the metal bracket underneath the cowl that you can only really get to by taking that off. Not to mention getting the bar over the screws you have to pry on the metal seat for the cowl.

It's actually just chip resistant paint. That isn't so chip resistant lol. I need to get vinyl wrap. Or plasti dip so it doesn't chip so easy.
