looks good to me... its hard to go wrong w/ a strut bar, unless it dosent fit. I cant see paying more than 100. for a metal bar. Id buy it.

Ditto what JJS said. Those are totally different bars.

The first one i can vouch for. It's the same bar which sold for a bit less ($45) than that through a Group Buy i mediated earlier this year. Got it from the same guy (E.g. Directcarparts on Ebay)

Here's a write up of the installation process.

Any difficulty with that bar and the little airbox bracket on the driver's side tower?

Nope. Not at all. If anything the hard part during the installation was trying to make the bar length just right so that it's not too long (hit the underside of the hood) and not too short (hit the intake manifold) - which by itself wasn't a biggie either.

I can take better pics for you if you want. We could also meet up so you can see it for yourself

No need for more photos...your write up works just fine!

Sounds good to me! You know how to reach me...
