Yes its titanium and definitely a good bit lighter than the stock bar. Wouldn't buy one of these for weight savings though. It just a bonus

So fuckin ugly :mad:

I can't believe there aren't more options for replacements :shakes head:
I've had a miSHITmoto one I received as a gift sitting in my garage for years now because there's no way to mount it.

It really is horrible. Sticks out like a sore thumb now to. Lance @ nextlevel sells one (I don't even know who makes it) but I haven't got around to ordering one yet.

Run a 1/4-3/8" tape line vertically on the PS reservoir and spray the rest a nice candy blue or something. That way you can still read it at a glance but doesn't look like it belongs in a versa with 200k miles..

Just a thought anyways. All sorts of options other than just buying something and bolting it in

Not a bad idea.

Here's a better shot of the strut bar. Also picked up a custom APR splitter for the amuse bumper https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6a55ba0448.jpg

I bought some years ago and am not sure what I did with them lol but most of the kits cause the hood to bulge and I am not okay with that.

Thanks for the info! No issues with the hood bulging? I will definitely have to do this.

V1H 03-24-2017 10:22 AM

Nope, no issues
You might also get away with a slightly weaker gas strut of 250 N coz my 350 N are on the powerful side

Car is looking really good!! I love that strut bar and the engine cover. You bought the strut bar off Wiggins I assume? He has some killer parts up for sale.

Thanks! Yea the strut bar and splitter came from wiggins. Also picked up the top secret floor mats he was selling.

ChaseZ 03-24-2017 12:24 PM

I got hood struts from Z1 and no bulging, no problems.

Good to know. Seemed like every single kit was causing this for a while.

TerribleONE 03-24-2017 12:48 PM

Anyone going to this tomorrow?

I hadn't heard that. My only small beef with the Z1 struts is the hood doesn't open quite as much as I'd like it to. Not that it's bad, just less than stock and I seem to constantly have my head under there. If any if the others are different in that regard I couldn't say.

Thanks bro! Been wanting one for so long couldn't pass it up. You ever gonna stop working on your car and enjoy it? Lol

Rid3_FaM0uS 03-24-2017 05:09 PM

It looks absolutely fantastic on your PW car man!

Some day I hope. Unfortunately not until I'm certain I can sink the hook so far into the 9s that I never have to worry about turning another bolt again for a while.

Had a good time at Elite Tuner. Came home with a trophy for being in the "top 25" out of probably 175-200 cars or so

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5cf7608cee.jpg

I will post some more pictures that I took with my 5D once I edit them

V1H 03-27-2017 01:22 AM

Congratulations to the trophy! Well earned :tiphat:

Not at all just make sure you seek medical attention if it lasts more than 4 hours :rofl2:

TerribleONE 03-28-2017 03:05 PM

Couple new pictures from Elite Tuner and a good shot of the new Top Secret strut bar.


Also placed my order for the Varis Kamikaze hood.. This is going to be a long 6 months


Hotrodz 03-28-2017 05:36 PM

Yup, I was prepared to wait six months for months for mine and I was surprised when it showed up in just over three months. Hopefully you will get lucky!
