Talking couple pics of my car

I got the custom front tower brace from VIPCLK320 and rear one as well.
still waiting for the intake from VIPCLK320.

and finally got my rims on my car and dipped in chrome.
oh not to mention, they were 3 guys working on my car to install my rims since my car is too low, so they had to jack it up manually and someone peeled a piece of chrome off my rims and im UPSETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
they said they did not do it and obv they did while installing my rims on .
but i used super glue to put it back and its very hard to tell now .. but if it peels off, gonna have to send it back and get it rechrome again

is your rear strut bar the same as the front? or is it the rounded? i can't really tell from the pic. i'm not sure if i confused you about what i said on the other thread about me "tightening the bar as tight as possible" IF your rear bar is EXACTLY like the front. my rear strut bar is the rounded ones. so what i meant was.... there's an extra adjustment in the middle that allows you to loosen or tighten simply by inserting something in the hole and turning it.

his is a bit different being that his car is a vert, but exact same functionality just adjustments from the sides.
