Strut Bar GroupBuy?

hey, haven't heard anybody talk about it so I figured to post incase anybody is interested. Some member, "Richie" replicated the ARC strut bar and made it out of aluminum. It's going for $225 shipped. I ordered one and it was shipped the next day and is on its way. Don't recall seeing any other NGC on the list so figure somebody might be interested.

I believe so. It stated to fit over space and oem cover and rubs slightly with the hood insulator. Go to market place under sponsor and suspension it should be a post there with details. figures I give it a try, haven't done anything to the G in a while. I was thinking about the nismo rear valence replica for $199, but not sure if that deal is going to happen or not.

It appears that it will without the engine cover, which i don't believe you use with crawford anyways.

update, received my bar like 2-3 days after payment, it arrived quick. Took about 30-45 minutes to put on since I had to test fit and wiggle it here and there. fairly easy install, but you need small fingers to put on the nuts for a couple bolts next to the base. I have 5/16 spacer and oem cover and on the passenger side it rub slightly and i believe it hit the hood insulation as stated. No biggie. Nice addition to the engine bay and certainly tightens up the turns with sways and springs. Some member used metal polish and got a good shine out of it, so i might give that a try.

Brian saw my bars in person so he might want to comment.

Like my man mohammad from afghanistan, grew up in Iran
The Ni**a runs a neighborhood news stand, a wild middle eastern
Bomb specialist, initiated out of lebanon to be a terrorist
He set bombs in bottles of champagne and when ni**a's pop the cork, Ni**a's lost half they brains, Like this expert that tried to smuggle half a key in his left leg, Even underwent surgery
They say his pirate limp gave him away, as the feds rushed him, comin thru US customs...
