      I'm not gonna lie, that setup looks like one of the sketchiest I've ever seen. Could you atleast have bent it, or even made the ends so they don't look as cobbled together. This is coming from someone who uses a welder pretty frequently and does fab work, not a person who just buys everything so not trying to be harsh for harsh sake.

          I know it looks haggard but its solid. will come up with a cleaner design soon and do more planning.I literally threw this thing together and made it work. I need to find a place that sells 5" diameter washers and i could make something much cleaner and easier.

                i hear ya, i hear ya. I will grind things flat and paint it soon. Probably should of done that before posting knowing r3v but owell. this thing functions great and is better then a Chinese POS strut bar that has hinges and isn't even solid.

                          +1 for making stuff your self, just clean it up a little and keep on working on new designs.

                            Yikes. That's more hacked together than my turbo setup.

                              i think it blends well with the zip tied air cleaner, the duct taped throttle body boot and ties it all together with your screen name. beautifully executed. that my friend is "top of the line"
