You do the bumper, you gotta do the side skirts. Did you pay to get it painted? Did you install yourself?

Yea, sweet. I just found a nice m4 full body kit conversion, including front/rear bumpers AND front fenders for the m style side markers... very tempting.

OK, some information regarding installing this strut tower bar WITH coil overs. BC sent me these nuts that have a lip to fit INTO the strut tower and lock them in place. This is because instead of the bolts going from the top DOWN INTO the strut housing, their Coil overs have studs that come up INTO the engine bay. HOWEVER, when you install this bar, these nuts no longer work and don't "lock" into place therefore start to back out. Which starts causing an awful noise that sounds like the top nut on your CO going loose. So I solutioned this by going to ace and getting nylon nuts and adding a little blue locktite. Problem solved. Old BC nut on left, new ACE nut on right. 3 dollar fix.

Interesting BC sent you these nuts?? Doubt Megan Racing will send me some. I'm still waiting for my strut bar, looks like it might have just left the sending country.

The nuts on the left, Yes, those are what came with the CO and they WOULD HAVE worked except for the strut tower bar changed things. I went out and bought the nuts on the right from ace and now they will hold tight.

looks good to me! are you going to paint all the cross bars?

[ey2001]

Guys quick question... I don't see how this will bolt up.... if I line up 1 hole the rest will not fit..

[Sylverlee]

Haha I literally just did this install.. you need to drill the holes to make them bigger. Was a bit annoying. Just drove the car, steering actually feels noticeably different.. less under steer on the turnout 😀

If I drill it bigger will the stock bolt fit? I am asking because of the washer... and how much bigger did ur drill it out?

[ey2001]

Also does your bolt on the look like this or is it the torx?
