Default Ben and I have some new mods!!

Ben has installed his Tein S-Tech springs and threw on his rims with a new color. Looks SICK!

And I installed the Cusco Carbon Fiber Rear Strut Tower.

Ben!! That's like ebola or something it's so sick! You need blue center caps to match the blue flake in the car!

Hey Art... how's the rear-end feel w/ the bar? Oh, somewhere there's instructions for trimming the strut tower covers so they fit with the bar in there. Also, I'd be interested to see if some bicycle tire quick-release bolts would work in there to hold the bar on... that way you don't need tools to pop it on and off for cargo.

It actually is really easy to unbolt the center CF bar. I just keep a 14mm socket handy. I wouldn't mind finding some quick release bolts though. I did think about trimming those caps, but just but the layer of black padding over the top and it makes it look pretty good. I might leave it like this for now.
