Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you but that front grill bar is interesting. I didn't realize that it takes the place of the crash beam. Someone should chime in cuz now I want to know.

My question on that front bar is will it fit even with my Buschur Race FMIC....

I've asked around and nobody seems to know......

as for that trunk bar, I dont think the Cusco one will do anything more than my OEM EVO RS trunk bar would do.....

Blue Evo, as with previous threads by you on the same topic, you have no use for those nor anything of that nature.

Warrtalon's right. Unless you're looking for that last 0.1 sec per lap around Road Atlanta, these things are useless.

On the other hand, if you just want a cool blue bar that you can see through the grille go ahead and spend the money. It's cool and it's blue.

It looks like the front power bar dealie has bolt points to hook up the bumper - is that true (since it removes the crash beam)? Only reason I'm considering it is since I'm not running the crash beam, the front bumper is sagging a bit and my passenger tire is starting to touch the outer part of the fender.

its cool. Its blue.....


So much money is spent on stuff that is highly unnecessary.....what difference does it make?

In all seriousness, unless you are lapping Tsukuba in under 58 seconds-you're not gonna notice the difference between the car with and without these braces.

But, its a cool "have".
