hmmm I know I have said this about 10,000 times but if you can Find one the Win Racing Corp. upper stut bar fits the engine compartment without having to remove the engine cover..has a tiny amount of rub on the heatsheilding on the hood but works well.... not easy to find tho... I think I might have one of 2 or 3 in the US. but i have had it for like 2 years now.
