Strut bar question

[Disturbed1]

I emailed these people about this strut bar and haven't gotten a response yet , so I thought some of you guys could offer up some answers. This bar is "carbon fiber finish". What I'm wondering is, is this just paint? I'm looking for an inexpensive strut bar that I can powder coat to go with the rest of my engine pieces. Any ideas on it's actual finish?

That usually means painted or printed. If your going for a show piece that you are customizing look at getting a used bar for cheap. maybe ebay or SL. Good luck.

Thanks for the quick response....yeah that's kind of what I was thinking also. Yeah, this is definitely more of a show piece that an actual functional bar. I don't see myself attacking any road courses with my box...:lol: Unless of course there is a real reason the box needs a good strut bar for average daily driving. I'm still learning about them.

There like stickers on Hondas. Minimum of fifty horse power increase from installing. Add spray paint and get a total of fifty!! :rofl:

Crap....Like my Megan strut bar. Purely for looks. I know some people argue even the solid ones dont really do much. But mines is purely to fill up space and look pretty.

More like a hundred. Powder is so advance and smooth. Less wind resistance. LOL

hmm I am confused I can tell a huge diffrence with my front strut tower brace on versus off on my XA now I run 15 inch wheels I dunno if that makes a diffrence here. I have the hotchkis brace it was expensive but is a nice piece. I here the meagan ones are pretty well made as well. I am baffled why people are not seeing results I see a huge diffrence.
