SL/R129: **Wiechers R129 Strut Brace**
#51
Installed the carbon Wiechers strut bar the other day. Fairly straight forward with a little maneuvering to get into place. However it does press down on a vacuum hose (?) connected to the right side throttle body. Should this be any cause for alarm? Some additional lines had to be lifted up and over the bar. While they might now be in closer or perhaps touching the brand new hood pad, I don't think it's drastic. Also...they could have centered the damn sticker.
Quality of the piece itself was on point. Clean welds and the weave of the carbon is top notch. I'm very picky when it comes to carbon fiber and it did not disappoint. Performance or feel wise, can't say I've noticed much of a difference after a short drive, but that was never the goal anyway. Pics attached.
