Default is the Type R tower strut bar a direct bolt on

Is the OEM Type R tower strut bar a direct bolt on to a GSR?

How can you tell its not from Ebay?

Please post up pics of the Strut bar so I can tell if its legit or not

Its a direct bolt on ( you will need 4 bolts and nuts if you dont have a GSR, and go look at one on a friends car so you know what you are looking for.

Friends don't have a integra or don't have a Type R strut bar.

Does anyone have a pic of one so I don't buy one that is from EBAY.

Can anyone provide pic or what to look for to make sure its OEM.

Thanks

the type r strut is is shiney silver, the fakes are like a brush aluminum. The type r has the sticker on it, and that you can't really fake since once you peel an original sticker off it really ***** it up. Other wise they both are identical. But the fakes are just as strong as the real thing, because i have both fake and real front struts, and they feel exactly the same when i apply a **** load of pressure/weight on them.

Try buying from a dealer or a type-r owner if you want the oem bar. Ebay is hard for me to trust.

Someone is selling it and i'd like to make sure its OEM. I'd like to make sure he didn't buy it from ebay and is trying to sell it for more.
