Just what I'm in the market for... how much are the shields going to run?

Drilling the two holes in the fire wall is very easy--you do have to remove the plastic just above it to get to the back side. They can be installed in about 20 min. just because you have to put it on-mark the holes and drill them. Nothing else has to be removed or changed. We did notice with some aftermarket suspension. that you have to lower one of the struts to get it on--just because they are made to very tight tolerances and I didn't want to mess up any threads on the struts. these bars also come very close to the hood. If your all stock you will be fine but some of the carbon fiber hoods come down closer and you might have to put some washers on the hinge. The wall thickness on the tubes is .095" and currently it is up to the buyer for the hardware to attach it to the firewall. Any other questions please post them.
you can also use jacknuts if you don't feel like removing the plastic cover.

Nice, I want one. I personally like the bar to have 3 mounting holes at each end instead of 2 cuz I just feel the load over the struts will be more even.

The strut bar's color right now is totally fine. I don't really like any bling under the hood anyway.

Would you consider making rear strut bar, c-pillar bar, trunk bar, etc. in the future? A lot of bars in the market are not solid welded like yours.

Keep up the good work.

Would I need to put down a deposit or anything?

Yes I can do a pink red purple any color you want!!!!!!! We will be welding up another run this weekend! We are not sure if the brake stoppers will be incorporated into the bars just because allot of people want them separately. Once we get them welded up there will be a week or two turn around to get them powder coated. For the ones that want custom colors we will want a deposit/paid in full--just because it would be harder to resell a custom color. I'll post up the link to the place that we get things powder coated and you can pick the color. I think we will also sell them un powder coated (cheaper) if people are interested.

definately want one, and the brake mc stopper too, if it's for the LHD cars! I don't care what color, I saw it fits over the RB and I've got a large top mount on it. Looks awesome, let me know how I can get one!!!

We shoud have some un powdercoated ones ready by Monday the 22 of Oct. We are going to make a couple rear bars--put them up on the site and build a few of the most popular. The powdercoated bars should be ready by 1 Nov (both custom color and standard wrinkle black).

P.S. they will fit LHD and RHD--the only fit issue has been with ABS (pump is in the way)

i have a feeling that this front bar will also clear the intake plenum for a VQ35 swap, especially the HR where 2 intake pipes run to the sides instead of 1 pipe going behind as with the DE

We got 20 bars bent this weekend (now to weld them up)

We also prototyped a heat shield that incorporates a brake booster stop (prevents master cylinder from moving around)

We also prototyped the rear bar which is a triangulated design. We are going to have a battery tray that attaches to it for people wanting to relocate the battery.

Yes my PayPal is the same. If you want a un powdercoated/plain bar I will do 139.00$ shipped the powdercoated bars are 149.00$ shipped. We still need to get a few more welded up before I take the lot to the powdercoater. the heat shield and rear bar are in the final stages of prototyping and I'll post up a picture for some feedback before we do a big run.

So--plain bars are availiable now for 139.00$ shipped and the powdercoated bars should be done in a week--no longer than two weeks.

CUSTOM COLORS--We are doing custom colors but they must be paid in full. Before we take the bar incheck out the link for the colors. They will still be 149.00$ shippedhttp://www.glendalepowdercoating.com/colors.html

The powdercoated bars should be back from powdercoating the week of 5-9th of November.
