ETD is in the middle of a slight re-design and their new bars are AMAZING. Before you buy, I would recommend contacting john at etdracing.com in the New Year when they re-open.

Your looking at $250 for a great traction bar.

I've got a set of Full-Race on my car now, and wouldn't own another set. I've installed quite a few from some other manufacturers and still like my full race the best.
