It would be nice if you could find a shop with more tools so we could see what you could really do
You really don't know how much that means to me. Next year I plan to major in mechanical engineering at RIT, U-Del, or Rutgers...so well se what I can do with that. Thanks a lot. Maybe ill just print this out and show my schools...haa laterr

good effort Nick...so how does she feel now you have it on?
It feels more firm up front. I can't say I feel a huge difference though because I do not road race or do any high speed turns...I did it more for the look

looks really nice but i have one question doesnt it rub on the hood? the reason i ask is because on my car the intake plenum already rubs on the hood cover thingy. Jason

It only slightly touches the black insulation cover... I do not think there is any way to avoid that. My bar only sits about 1/8" over the eninge and it touches, but the hood closes fine.
