GT Spec Rear Strut Tower Brace

I'd like to get more info on this. What features will this bar have? Material? Construction? How much cutting of the rear panels will need to be done?

Make it titanium and be the first to offer it for less than $100 so we could look like this .

I know there are a few different materials available: aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber. The biggest issue is the end plates which are steel which obviously increases the weight of the rear strut tower bar.

When I installed my bar, I removed the lining of the trunk completely. Obviously, you only need to cut two holes in order to put the bar on properly.

Yeah, what he said

There is an option to get Ti endplates with the Ti bar. These are the best pics I have off-hand.

Just one thing to consider: any hinges at all in the rear strut bar will dramatically reduce its effectiveness.

I bought the Ralliart art bar and have been very happy - very light and fits perfectly.

Hmmm. looks really nice. So how about it under $100 for the regular, under $150 for carbon and under $200 for the Ti . Or all Works customers can get their choice for just $99.99. It sounds good to me don't you think

Are you going to have a matching front bar?
