I have never seen that before. I'm not sure how it would work. said something about support for better handling. I think I'll let you guys try it out first though. I notice there aren't any bids on it yet. What do I know, I'm still a newb. lol

WTF is def right on this one!!! How is this suppose to help handling?? Hey Someone will buy it and put it in their car and prob say it adds like 5 HP too - HAHA.
I feel sorry for anyone who buys this thing thinking it will do anything but look bad and take up room.
Every man his own though!

sweet, a 25 buck pull up bar!

Oh wait, its a piece of **** that won't do jack for your handling.

On a side note, i really like Matt Blehm's stage II lower tie bar...

Wow!!! Totally awesome!! It would be even sweeter wrapped in fake carbon fiber to match my super cool carbon-look seatbelt racing pads. Or you know what would be cool?!?!.. A streetglow neon attached to it, so that it will match my lighted washer nozzles on the hood!!

Gee.. Now if only they made one for the front seat area that wraps over the console and prevents me from sitting in the car, or shifting gears. I mean who cares about that since it will be as stiff as a race car, and look like one to!!!

This item originated from an actual performance product, but now they are simply for looks. If you actually strip your interior and weld in a couple of braces, it helps. If you just bolt one in to your seatbelt mounts, all you've done is add an ugly bar to your interior.

I don't know what to say but one darn ugly piece to put in your interior. WHO THE HECK WOULD BUY THAT, honestly that's the dumbest thing I ever seen they come up with.

Hey Arnold, I like your sig, especially with the bumper light, pretty spiffy. It is just cosmetic or it's is actual functional lighting?

This kind of bar is not unusual, I have seen them used in Ford Probes for years. They supposedly do help stiffen up the chassis to reduce body flex in turns.

actually it is Cool.... It actually works.... I have seen pit in cars..... These is how it works. You added to you floor as in the picture.... when the corner comes and you feel the body flexing your passengers STEP on it to stop the flexing. Another use is to put your feet under it when you are driving down a hill.... to release the pressure of your body....
What do you guys think..am I right j/k
