Bringing this back from the dead! Just wondering which one did you end up getting ?

I'm looking for a solid one piece that fits over the 430 cover. Any recommendations ?

I like the RMM strut bar but I'd rather stick with a one piece bar.

That's why I jumped on the Carson tuned on the upper f/s thread.

That looks good Hollywood, but I really wanted a one piece bar that clears the 430 cover. Not much out there to choose from.

Not a big fan of the style the strut bar has, or any of their braces.

I really like the way this one looks. The quality looks a lot better and more solid.

Hollywood, did you have to mod anything to get the tein to fit? I'm surprised it fits, cuz you have to mod it to get it to fit the gs300 cover or remove it.
