Can there be another thread specifically for this part/group buy just so all the information is consolidated to the OP for easy information gathering?

I understand the point of the OEM bar doesn't work with it, but is there no other way than making an inferior (in terms of rigidity) product?

So we'd be taking a straight bar and putting bends/angles in it, thereby sacrificing rigidity for looks?

Point being, much like a dipstick and PS/Brake fluid reservoirs, it's nice to be able to just eyeball fluid...

I would want brushed myself, but since that's hard to do, I dunno what other materials you could use?

Ti would be too expensive.
Can you do synthetic materials?

AzSpeng, as per our PM, since I can't attach pictures to them, here are the pics. These are just rough measurements to get an idea of what space you have to work with.
