FS: "Type-R" front upper strut tie bar

I'm not sure if this is the OEM piece or not, I purchased it used off the web and it does not have the Type R logo on it (anymore)

The bar is clean and very rigid. I went over to the dealership and the guy at the parts counter couldn't tell if it was OEM or not. He did say that it looked good to him!

I'm taking best offer on this one

No Lowballing please...

TIA!

It's hard to make offers without knowing for sure if you have the real thing.

I believe that it could be a honda part because of the construction of it. It's not flimsy at all! It's a VERY stiff piece with solid welds and no gaps. It looks like the OEM piece to me.

The OEM peice is flimsy to me compared to the spoon bar.

This bar is really strong. Does not move under my weight. The only other reference point I have is the GSR bar which was hollow and flexed under hard cornering and braking.

This bar won't flex at all!

1 decent offer takes the bar!!!
