It's a vibrant strut bar, polished finish. i just took it off because in order to make it fit, i had to force it on by pulling and bending it a litttle. doing that compromises the integrity and purpose of the strut bar. plus, it was touching the hose that goes from the tubing to the crank case. shortly after the install, the hose split from the tension. So, i'm selling it for $50, or best offer. It fit and performed great when I installed it with the stock air box, now I have a pipe in the way. I had them in my old car and it is a really great product for the cost. ($70-$75 band new) I've only had the civic strut bar for less than a month, so if you're interested or know anyone, let me know. laterz.

My Neuspeed upper strut should be here today. I thought I may have the same issue with my AEM V2 so I decided to go with the Neuspeed instead of the DC strut bar I had originally ordered. Also, as a side note I have been told that in the future if you ever plan on doing a K motor swap the DC and some other strut bars will no longer fit, however the Neuspeed will still fit. This was another reason why I went with Neuspeed. I will get pics of it installed hopefully tonight if it arrives.
