I would pass on it... For a strut bar to work, it needs to be engineered and made to handle the load. I'm sure this piece will be a total disappointment. It will probably only provide the looks of a real strut bar... nothing more.
Will it fit correctly< what does it take to remove for oil changes, air filter. Does it clear the filter.. just not worth the money or the effort... IMHO
