Yes, I'm replying to myself. Ben has followed through with his commitments in terms of lead time and sending pics and videos as it was being made. He is truly a professional. It goes to powder coating (matte black) this coming week! It was expensive, yes, but appears to be truly a solid piece of kit. I'll grab some pics and maybe a video when it arrives.
I ordered them about 1.5 months ago through SpeedIndustry.
Did you ever get your bar delivered? Would love to see it installed.
I did! It arrived about a week ago. I have most of the panels pulled out to install it, but I need to take out a few more. It's a tight fit compared to the Cusco bar so more of the interior has to be removed. After the F1 race at Monza this morning I'll grab a few pics of the bar and then after it's installed I'll grab a few more and post them here. I got mine powder coated a matte black and I think it looks phenomenal.
Ok, not installed, but here ya go:
It's not a daily driver so if it sits taken apart for a week or two it's not a big deal.
It looks great. This is probably my current leading solution to go harnesses without going full bolt-in cage.Ok, not installed, but here ya go:
I still need to remove two pieces of interior trim to install it. Again, it's a little more involved than the Cusco brace because of how long it is and how it slots into the car before being installed. Hoping to wrap it up this week - family and work often get in the way of small car project like this in my household.
Bonus: My car is actually clean for a change!
Right on! Will post pics when I'm done. It's outrageously expensive and the welds aren't perfect, but I'm more interested in something actually functional that also provides some level of structural benefit. Given where this thing bolts on, it checks all the boxes.
Thanks Josh! I just heard ~6 months through another vendor, so it seems like that's what it's going to be!
Took a while to install. Frustrating process.
