          I don't think the red looks too bad, you could always paint it I guess

            It'll be fine...I mean, I won't be driving around with the hood open or anything. It's just silver and red don't exactly mesh. No biggie though...just an off-hand comment.

                I'm surprised too. I had that same setup and the bar would rub against the intake maifold causing horrible vibrations in the cabin.

                    I want one but everything I've read on Ireland's site, leads me to believe I need the shorter version for mine. Can someone measure their sparco bar from one mouting hole over to the other (front or back is fine) I just want to get an idea how much work it will be to fit one of these on.

                        I belive these bars fit the strut towers that measure 39.5" from center to center. IE makes a shorter version.

                        UPDATE: Guys get money ready to transfer in your PayPal account for next week. Franklin said he has 6 bars comming sometime next week and he is working on getting more. As of now it is first come first serve but things are subject to change.

                          IE makes both a 39.5" and a 38.5" now.

                          Did Franklin give a tentative price when you talked with him?

                            correct, but i'm looking for a different measurement.. one in my opinion is a little more accurate to gauge how much my strut towers need to move ;)

                            So anybody willling to measure the mounting holes for me?
