| People, you know that front strut bars in our cars is useless right?
Our strut towers are basically on the firewall, which gives them the strength.
you see these bars on cars where their strut towers are further away from the firewall. | |

You can see it in the photo. I found a place in AZ that has spiral wrap in red so I am going to dress the engine compartment in a splash of color. | |

| I have APR bar. Feels great (knowing that its there). I have stock wheels and because of that dont drive hard, so cant really comment on the performance other than this: i had a door panel squeak against the A-pillar and it disappeared right after i put in the bar. |
