Hey pingy I ordered the tower bar, I was curios what mod did you do to the stock black bar. Also I wonder if it is bad to have front bar without using the rear bar also.

I just put some foam inside the stock black bar.
for the front do you mean the under the car bar not tower bar
if so yes it would be bad just to have the front under bar and not any of the rear 2, the car will be out of balance.

Yeah I ordered the front strut bar, I looked at the two rear bars which go under the car and didn't know if I need both or just one.

The install on the front strut bar seems pretty straight forward, do you recommend having a professional install the two rear lower bars or something I could pull off on my own.

the rear 1 will be hard get a professional to install it, you will need some mods on the exhausts pips

Yeah I've seen the post before about the exhaust needing to be modified, is it the same for OEM exhaust or is it if you have an aftermarket exhaust?
