he did not post in the FS section...if the buyer wants to risk it, its up to the buyer, nothing we can do about that.
you posted a WTT in the FS section, which by the rules, you must have proper pictures where you did not have any at all. i told you that i could reopen it once you did get pictures but for now its closed.
if he post in the FS section without pictures then his will be closed. there are many sales that go on here that never make it to the FS section. sorry but your thread was not a special one to be closed for no reason at all.

Cool thanks. You know I haven't done a sale thread without the pics also. And I also don't like making sales in threads anyways.
I guess he is just upset that he couldn't get my bar and trying to close someone elses thread. haha.

Wow, this got a bit off topic, anyway, if you've got picks BlackP5, I'm interested, maybe just in an outright buy, we'll talk. And adikt (smart enough to leave the a on there), thanks for doing your job well, good to know we're supported here by those who know what they're doing.

Will do. I got home late today but will get them up tomorrow.
Upset that I couldn't get your bar? that's funny, I declined it because you want almost retail for it plus a trade. whatever.
You guys just don't understand sarcasm if it doesn't come with a ****** smiley face.

I was also joking. And retail on the bar is $150 and they aren't being made any longer. So it should be worth more.
I was talking to a friend of mine who has been into cars for more years than I am old...or close. Anyways, what he said about strut bars made sense to me:
If you get a strut bar that's not welded on the ends (gtspec), then you are esentially making a parallelogram that can flex either way. If you use one that is welded (stock), then you've rid any chance of flex.
I'll admit, the aftermarket ones are beefier in the middle. If you can find one that's nice and thick in the middle and welded on the ends you'll be good. The "best" one would be a 3-point bar that connects to the firewall and welded at the joints.
