Finally I got it.. going from RMM ~5lbs --> APR (~4lbs +battery tie down --> Carbing (~2lbs ) all of which have been great bars.. i've yet to really push the carbing bar really hard but it holds up really good just as the others have prevented tire squeeling when turning hard and fast..only fitment issue is the brake fluid being in the way and to fill it i'd have to take off the carbing bar again.. i think they also make it in steel but this one is aluminum

cool, I still think Hypermotive is better looking though, but also like double the price!
My car might be slow, but at least it looks nice!

cool, I still think Hypermotive is better looking though, but also like double the price! - Hypermotive is by far the best looking front strut bar imo however the primary function of the bar (stiffness) is not up to par being that it's one of the easist to bend. I got it for the bling factor to match my other accessories under the hood however if one wants to maximize their suspension mods, a Carbing front strut bar is one of the sturdiest in design and material...

i got the carbing bar after seeing how nice it was in your pic and yah i just smashed the bar down... but then on the other site i saw others took off the rubber cap with the words on it but kept the other rubber cap with the plastic piece on... and that works alright
