Well if you go look at the WORKS site, the original prices, you'll see the specials are:

$419 down to $299 = $120 saving
Front brace: $399 down to $259 = $140 saving

Total $260

SO my maths ain't that bad...

It's too bad you guys don't have a trunk bar to go with it...the OEM one just looks cheap compared to the high-speed low-drag bars you guys produce!

We could have, but in all honesty the OEM bar works well. Why mess with a good thing, especially one that remains hidden from view?

Good answer....

Can you guys give us a how-to on making the cutouts nice and pretty with the trim? Or at least what the trim is made of and where I can find it? Thanks

I used some rubber U section for the edging of the carpet (picture in one of the previous posts), used a stanley knife (those sharp garage knives) to cut the carpet.

What I did was install the rear mounts on the top of the suspension towers, left the cross brace off, then istalled the carpet (won't fit back completely, but fitted it as best as possible), took a rubber mallet and GENTLY tapped/hit a couple of times the place where the top mounts where. removed the carpet, on the back you will now see the indentation on the back of the carpet, now just cut around the indentation, looking to see where the cross bar will sit so you can cut to clear the cross bar.

I've got some vacuum line that I'll use for trim. Just slit one side of it and slide it on the edge.

This is a known issue we're working on. Even with the error page, most of the orders do go through. Check for your e-mail confirmation of the order. If you don't have one, please call us and we'll get you taken care of. Sorry about the troubles.

I understand your point for the RS trunk bar.. But what's the benefit in using your front strut bar over the OEM piece? Not trying to be a smarta$$.. I'm just thinking both are tri-point, is yours stiffer perhaps?
