Okay, I found a similar thread in the "how to" section but it is closed so I decided to put this here considering I have a Phoenix Red Sportback. I found a powder coated RRM rear strut bar on eBay for half price and spent about the last hour doing some interior modifications in order to allow the strut bar to fit, yet keeping the OEM clean and looking original:

First I used a box cutting knife to open up the strut tower access panel in order to provide clearance for the installation. The installation of the bar itself was quite easy, by removing the 14mm nut off of the forward strut tower mounting bolt, slipping the stabilizer bar over the bolt and replacing the nut.

By using a pair of household scisslors I cut a slot to allow the panel to close around the strut bar:

After replacing the plastiic storage tray I attempted to replace the carpeted cover but didn't have enough corner clearance under the stabilizer bar.





This problem was solved by removing 7 centimeters off of each corner with a hacksaw:

Nice install Truth. It looks very clean!

Nice work truthdweller, love the clean look.

Hey guys, I am searching for some info about this car from Puerto Rico (see the att)
Can anyone give some links?

Can't help you with the links, but looks like somebody needs help with exterior mod selection.

And at the rear tow

Damn I wish I knew.

idk but looks like he likes to drive without his steeringwheel lol

Alright kids, let me have it...

I saw this on Ebay and it was too cheap to pass up...a OEM, never been opened, car cover for my 2004 Sportback Ralliart for $40...retail: $200+:







It came with a lock and cable as well.

I'm not a very big car cover advocate, over a carport or garage, but since there were only about (3000) of these cars made in the states, then there can't be too many of these car covers out there either! I probably shouldn't have opened it!

sweet find

Nice find. you must have been scouring ebay to find it cause I do my fair share of searching and I hadn't come across any oem covers yet.

I like it personally.

whoa! i need that cover for winter lol

Didn't find him on "cardomain" either...
Where should I go?...

Anybody else interested? It was $40 + $13 (shipping) = $53, of course a little profit would be in order...



Using PicsArt app, I get some more eye candy as to what it'll look like when RRM's CF lip comes in:




Almost nine Weeks and still nothing.

I've found him!

Fog lights look cool...thats about it..imo. Definitely not a fan of the hellaflush attempt or the paint job, but as they say..to each his own.
