Default Finally!!!!!

Ok, so I finally went and got my replacement Carson Tuned Front Strut Bar. I had been so busy with work and the kids that it took me forever to drive up and get it. While I was there, I had this sudden urge, and went crazy, well, see for yourself.
Before

After


I know, not as clean as some of you are used to, but I couldn't wait to get this thing on. Went over to my buddies house and we installed it in about 45 minutes. She started right up and sounds so mean. Next mod is gonna be rims I hope, but this makes such a difference in the feel. Definitely a worth while mod.

Looks very good! Is that the chrome version of the STB? I too have the SRT and am considering the "plain" version of the STB thinking that it would match better.

GWELEX,
It is the aluminum STB. I wanted to keep the bling down in the engine bay, plus the finish of the intake and the STB together work so well.

Plus, now I have easier access to the motor, which means I can get her even cleaner. LOL

Thanks for the answer, I agree that the aluminum looks better with the intake, even though it's not as "dull" looking as I imagined.
