looking at the two pix attached, i think they can charge more if look more complicated... i can accept paying a higher price for the strut bar on the lower pix...
id even go as far as to say that the first - fugly plain black one - is more functional and prolly cheaper to build. but at the end of the day we all like the pretty shiny bits.
like i sed, front upper strut bar - 90% cosmetic, 10% performance.

Yeah loh, I know my black Sparco strut bar is fugly but it works.. and works very well too...
For my case, I feel world of difference with it. It's apparent at the very first corner I whacked after installing it... Understeer was cut down tremendously...
So for me, it's not "90% cosmetic, 10% performance", rather it's the other way round...
LOL! fabian, i din mean to say ur bar was fugly. just that it's functional more than cosmetic, whereas the other shiny one is more cosmetic than functional.
din mean to offend ur car. i hope i din hurt her feelings.

we're looking at april for now but no firm dates yet. trying to do a big one with Italia Auto, Alfa Romeo Owners Club (AROC), BMWClub, etc to get a better deal from SIC.
will definitely keep you and Alvin in the loop once we firm things up.
