Thats obviously supposed to be a rear bar, correct? I've never seen a rear cusco but it looks to me like the holes aren't quite in the right spot.. and if it is real it looks like you'd have to cut or take out the covers that go over the struts in the rear with those big 90 bends. What do I know though, just drunk.

really?

there's like oval.. os.... D or something and they all look identical :(

I can't tell the difference at all, that bar is 100$ pick up

say... how about this one? this is a wanna be one but it looks kind of good for 50$ pick up + tax

I been told that this is the exact duplicate of the cusco one... even the cusco triangle trunk brace can be attached to it.

Go and look at your rear strut towers.. you really think that the bar in your first pic is going to fit in between them?

Sorry bro, I think whom ever you bought that **** from needs a solid pankin'.

EDIT: Seems to me you could have saved a lot of money off of cheap ebay bars..

loveless, the second one is for sure a fake. Reason, the nuts and bolts are way off from what you'd see on a genuine cusco. They use circular bolts that have a hex on the inside. The second reason why that's a fake is the circular section doesn't look quite circular. I've got a OS on mine and it doesn't look like that. Also there should be something kinda sparkly in the blue paint. I don't see that in either of them.

i haven't bought anything yet. I am just looking around for deals. I know the 2nd one is fake that's why I said it's a wanna be but hey it's 50$ and it sure looks better than those 20$ ones that I know will bend for sure....

I can't seem to find a good photo of the rear OS, anyone want to lend me a hand?

i think that is a cusco bar but not for a a 240sx because i did a search once on cusco bars and i believe that belongs to a different car, like a subaru.

My recommendation don't buy it

Here's a pic of the bar in general. It's a bit blurry, I'll take another one more detailed at where the bar bolts up.
