LOL yeah i was from home depot.
about the strut bar...go see your accord, there's two black metal
bar sticking out of the fire wall..
if the cl-s bar have a slot =yes
if not you need to cut them up..
but ebay strut bar works for me.
anyone Q's?

 

about hdm lip..
it's those popular wall molding for carpet flood.
the neat part is you can have it with color.
and yeah, no hole or glue.
the bracket you can get it from home depot too..
it uses stock bumper mounting points.

 

yes if fits, i have one on my car

 

thanks guys

thanks bro, that's not exactly it, but i get the idea now...
hopefully it will fit, or i'm gonna have to fit it over the "L" shaped bar on my car(using same screw...)
thanks a lot anyway~

 

there's not way to get it work RIGHT without cutting it..
My **** was all over it when i first got my strut bar.
look at closely you'll see it's tilted to some degree..
well..just forget if for now, you'll see what i mean when you
got the bar.

Sorry for the late reply, the strut bar replaces the "L" bars and all you have to do is use the existing nuts. There are plastic tabs at the base of window wipers that pop off and that is where the "L" bars connect via 2 nuts. You wont need any extra mounting hardware. After you put it on do some agressive turning then retighten to 24-26 ft-lbs, I found that my nuts came slightly loose, but nothing major. I had a Neuspeed strut bar before this then sold it. This bar seems to do the job just as well from what I can tell at events.

so, do i just take off "L" shaped bar? and not use it at all
or can i keep it?

 

i tossed mine, the strut bar is bascially the 2 L bars connected together

thanks

 

I just dont get it..why mess with OEM equipment or not get an aftermarket one
that will fit perfectly?

 

The CL-S bar fit much better than my old Neuspeed one.

 

shouldn't CL-S one fit better?? because CL and 6th accord shares same body..

 

Coz it's the same sh_t...
you feel better because it's OEM and sh_T
almost all the aftermarket strut bar is adjustable.
