Which strut tower bar? (installed pics for comparison)
For a while now I've had a Greddy front strut tower bar. Recently, I switched out my intake among other things and was looking to go all Weapon R. So far I've switched out a TRD intake, put in a Weapon R secret weapon and oil catch tank, and am wondering if I should keep the new Weapon R bar or go back to the Greddy.
Weapon R
Pros:
One piece construction minimizes independant strut tower vertical movement
Really Shiny
Cons:
Very tight fit on the outer edges
Thicker rings may cause fitment issues if an engine torque damper is added
May be too shiny
Greddy:
Two piece construction allows for removal of the bar for engine work without removing the tower rings
Painted rings match engine cover
Fits better than the weapon r
Cons:
Two piece construction not as stiff
Both bars side by side:

Ian is right. My choice would be the greddy cause it is thinner (easier to work around without removing and lighter weight)
BTW, Love what you did with the engine cover. Very clever Bro!

Thanks, that was tey #2 on the paint job. Masking tape doesn't do a good job, I had bleed under so I went and used pinstriping tape to cover the border between colors. The intake manifold also got painted to match but doens't show up well in the pics.
