| i got my ae92 JDM Strut bar mounted!!!!! all i did was drilled the holes out that the studs go through. i still need to go buy some spacers so i can mount it to the firewall. here is a few pics of my progress on putting the car back together... Strut bar.  front lip is back on.  and rear visor is back on.  i hope that soon i can take the grill, headlights, bumper and lip off to replace it with the fxgt front end.  | |

| It's nice that you had all the stock parts sitting around to fix it! How much space is between the firewall and strut bar? That will be helpful to know  | |

| Nice Alan! You should paint that flap thing underneath black when you go to paint. Nice upgrade!
LOL, it came in on the same day you posted that you didn't know when you'd get it. How'd you get this? | |
