      its not about looks it bout handling and honestly if it works just means you did something right. make a rear while ur at it too cause i have both front and rear and car corners better than ever.

                  all that time building that bar could have been used to pressure wash your engine bay. clean things up a bit perhaps build a bracket for your afm.

                      A bit better but ends still look haggard up close. Will make a AFM bracket next to keep r3v happy.

                              Guess who did it wrong?

                              I'd trust a line of zip ties from one strut tower to the other before I'd trust that creation.
