I have been told that it is similiar but not the same!
I believe steve modded it himself to fit his EA but he has now got a new kit fot the EA.
Preping it and spraying it is easy i can do that myself i gto the bar pretty much ready to go straight on!!

Rmyers got this front bar years ago, it was planned to go on his car and we modified it to fit, (not a whole lot needed to be done)
When Rollin seen this front bar, it inspired him to go and find one for his car.

They're not the same bar, Rollin's is from an older model WRX.

put it this way
the side skirts are worth more then $40 alone
the WRX bar has been repaired which costed money
the rear brock bar needs work, but again costs money.

very cheap kit that'll look awesome.
isnt Rmyers a Champ for selling it cheap ;)

Looks good Shaun. Are you going to put WRX foglights in it or leave it like that?

Lookin good, but i'm sure those pics do it no justice :P. Can't wait to see it in the flesh (hopeing it'll be properly colour coded by then). Oh and DO NOT put foggies in it, i did enough photoshops to conclude that it looks crap. Just stick in some black mesh or find a set of fog light covers. I agree that it definately needs more dumpage at the front now aswell.

When do you think you'll get the rest of the kit on?? Will you be using the twin cutouts on the rear bar???

Probably about a month and i should have the kit on and colour matched i took the bar off today and started sanding it back and cleaning it up. Only needs minor work and a bit of strengthing in the mounts cause i drove like a grandma last night lol!

Yeah i think ill give it a go at extending another pipe off my exhaust! Twin dumps!!! lol
