MLS Strut Bar Copy [Update]

We have test fitted the bar on both the sedan and coupe, and because of the way the MLS ones are set to barely clear under the hood, any slight variance either in the bar or the car may cause a misfit.

What we have concluded is that the bars would have to be cut an additional 1/4". This will still allow room between the bar and the engine, while ensuring that it also clears the hood, and IMO, would be a much better fit than the actual MLS bars.

So, at this point, the bars will be cut and re-powder-coated. As ChrisK has said that he does not need it powder-coated being that he plans to paint it anyway, we'd like to know if anyone else would like to not have it powder-coated.

Please let us know.

As far as time is concerned, it looks like it would take about 3 more weeks as the fabricator has since been bogged with more work.

Sorry about the delay, and any inconvenience. We'll try to get this done and out to those of you who ordered ASAP.

Thanks for understanding.

Just wondering... I had thought that 9x-9x Prelude Strut bars would fit a Legend with very little modification. Was I wrong about this? I can pick up a polished Prelude (any year) strut tower bar for like $90. Can I make this fit my sedan?
True'dat but I hear the bar must be slightly bent to fit. Sort of defeats the design IMO. Hence the dub of the MLS Strut Tower Bar, it's "Legend" specific. Some have the Prelude bar and that's cool, some would rather hav'tha real (or a dub of tha real). To each his own, it'z all gud!!!

LegendC,

Sorry it's taking so long. We've actually picked up the bars, but we decided to hold on and have them test fitted to make sure that they are all good before we ship them out. Trying to avoid any problems with fitment so that we know that they'll all fit when they are shipped.

I did not expect it to go this long, and sincerely apologize for the delay. We just want to make sure that they're done right.

We're close though. Very close. :)

Thanks to everyone for your patience on this.

Dean,

Will you be doing this with Area 51?

I have a 93 Coupe 6speed. I want one of these MLS Copy bars.
Is there anything I can do to order one?

Hey Jose,

I believe that we actually have an extra bar. If you want it, we can hold it for you.

Right now, we're working out the kinks with fitment. Once we get that done, I'll let you know where to send the money for it.

Is that cool?

Lemme know.
Yea I'm down.
I'd want somebody w/ a coupe to test fitment before shipment cuz I'm lazy and like doing things once and I'd hate to ship it back etc and wait 4 weeks etc etc

How much am I in the hole for?
