FS: CUSCO Carbon Fiber Front/Rear Strut Braces



These have been taken out of my personal car. They have been in the car for about 6 months and are still in immaculate/like new condition. EDIT: Both bars are sold.

Thanks, Cliff

Interested. The rear. How does that mount? It looks like you can use the existing rear seat post.

There should be a picture displayed. The rear mounts to the seat brackets and allows full use of rear seats with no modification.

200 for just the rear shipped. 150 for just the front shipped. Would rather see these go as a set but I'd be willing to split them up.

It goes tight up against the rear seat backs and level with the seat back top latch brackets if that makes any sense.

Sorry for the late questions but; Do you know if the front bar will clear the Alta air intake box with the cover on it? And, can the rear cargo cover still be used with the rear bar? Much thanks!

The bar fit with an alta intake installed but there was no box top. Im not completely sure if it would fit without touching the box top. The cargo cover may remain and the rear bar does nothing to interfere with it.

Hi Cliff,

I got the rear bar today and it looks great, its heavier duty that what I thought, the pic I googled it looked a bit thinner but I am very glad it is a heavy duty bar as thats what I prefer.

And to anyone who is considering the front bar the build quality of the rear I got seems to be top notch and transaction went VERY smoothly.

8/23/06 - Payment sent via Pay-Pal.
8/24/06 - Cliff shipped and sent me the tracking infroamtion
8/26/06 - Bar was received at my house.

If there was a buyer/seller feedback forum I would put that in there, but there isnt... So I thought I would let the people here know.
