So to give you guys all an update this is where we stand with the rear bar. Design is pretty finalized and have done CAD to Cardboard Cad and now back to CAD. Going to cut the first one in metal tomorrow morning and if it all fits should have bars by next week hopefully!

Might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyways. What the purpose of the rear bar, weight savings, safety, mounting points for a 2nd turbo? Also how long do you plan to keep selling these I am very interested but should be buying stuff to make my car run better before frame stuff (dam you responsible spending).

Rear is mostly weight and is probably stronger. You could also do a multiple turbo mount back there. It also adds 20 hp.

So been getting a lot of PM's about rear bar pricing and figured it would be better to answer it in a post here so everyone can see. As of now i have the prototype pieces cut and am going to mock them up and weld them this weekend. Once the prototype is done and verified ill send parts out to waterjet and once they are cut I will be able to give a price for the rear bars. But until then price is TBD by next week.

Fitment is confirmed and will send drawings to get made Monday!

pics of the prototype bar minus some gussets.

Note: this bar is ugly as **** and just thrown together to verify fitment. The production bars will be much better looking.

Got you added to the list. Got all my drawings sent out for some quotes today so whoever gets back with the lowest bid will be the winner and the price for the rear bar can be determined. Things should be pretty smooth sailing from here.

Weights
New Bar 5 lbs
Rear Bumper Structure 7.5 lbs
Rear bumper mount w/ not modified plastic 4.5 lbs
Rear Modified plastic removed 1.5 lbs

net weight loss 4

Well you guys waited and here it is. This will gain the best weight gain i could come up with. It will use the OEM top bar and part of the oem plastic pieces for mounting then the rest is removed and this is bolted up in its place. Pricing should be right about 200 with shipping.
