new toy for the car

so i installed a new little toy yesterday. i got a rear upper strut bar. it's a Megan Racing one for a 93 mx-6. i think it looks quite nice in there, but it's also functional. i have noticed a little difference in the stiffness of the car around sharp turns. anyways, here's pics.

price?

It looks good and improves safety, too. How much did you pay and how long did it take you? The beauty is in the details.

it was like $60 and took about 1 hour to do. it would have taken less time, but it was about 11pm and my light died so i did it in the dark.
here is a link to the instructions for the install.

just remember, if you get one, after installing the brackets, lift the back end of the car up and then install the actual bar. otherwise it's not going to do anything for the car other than look nice.
