Corksport Front Strut Bar

I was wondering what material it is made from. The blue portion looks like it is made out of plastic.

The ends are steel. We just paint them. Blue/Silver is kinda our "theme" if you will.

Just blue. It wouldn't stop you from painting or powdercoating it red...

awesome
part looks sweet can't wait to add a little bling to the bay

hey why not just spray paint the thing if you want a diff color, i plan on shootin the blue to black just so it blends into the bay a little better... 5 bucks goes a long way with rattle cans

well got the parts in today, UPS sucks they didn't show up till almost 5pm but that is UPS for ya...

front stut bar... very nice, very easy to install all you need is socket 14mm and some nice pliers or large enough hex key, takes about 15 min or less to install, and clears the FD alt in an S4 just fine... also no probs with the coolant cap...

radiator panel... well its worth its money the alum ones are very expensive had to do a little modifying to the product which was very easy.. took a little longer to install (less than an hour) just b/c I had to search for my file and taking it off / on / off for fitment and filing is time consuming. All in all it was very very easy to do, my wife probably could have handled the install...

i dont really like how close that sits to the alternator, but then again that looks like an fd, i had a plastic cap exposed on my alt and my oil feel like was rubbing against it and i opened the hood and my friend bumped the car playing around and i saw it spark i was like oooohhhh! good thing i noticed it there and it didnt catch my motor on fire but that story is completely irrelevant
