Default Pics of Pure MS Strut Bar??? vs. RaceTec Strut Bar

Checked the archives, no pics; just curious to see pics of the Pure MS strut bar installed.

Anyone compared to the RaceTec 4 point strut bar? I hear the RaceTec come dangerously close to the battery terminal, is this true?

Any opinions welcome.

Default a pic of the PureMS bar installed would look no different than stock. LOL

its is very hidden... and allows use of the battery cover with no fitment issues.

just installed mine 2 days ago... no pics yet sorry.

Default Yes on which question?

is that yes, racetec bar sits too close to battery terminal or is that a yes, that racetec is better in your opinion to the Pure MS bar?

If so, where did you purchase your RaceTec bar?

Default I have an 01.5 w/sports pkg. No aftermarket bar will fit without some work.

Racetec is a full 4pt bar but it does come close to the battery terminals, is stronger than the


PureMS bar, and costs more. PureMS fits with almost any battery and is OEM quality. Cheaper.

both have their pros-cons.
