I love the sleeper look, but I think you over-estimate people picking out subtle changes like the front bar. Heaps of slow-arse cars have big rims and stuff anyway, but people always give them a race. As if an ordinary LS1 or S15 owner is going to see the Scorcher bar and think your car is heavily modified. Just paint the cooler black. Do it once, do it properly.

Can't go past the Scorcher bar, unless you REALLY don't want to attract much attention.

Im probably the only one who will vote stock bar but i really dont like the look of aftermarket bars on ea-ed.. ofcourse if the restriction with the smaller cooler is a big issue there is your decision made for you but if its not id leave the stock bar on.

This kent should be running the site or something.
Al's SVO looks tough as with the DJR bar, yet its subtle and doesn't look out of place.

Not a fan of the scorcher bar at all.
Only other front bar I'd even consider on an EA-ED is Moffat like the greek said.

I agree what your saying about needing the rest of the body kit though. No doubt what ever you decide it will look sweet.

Stock bar.

But if you had to do something else, then I'd go the DJR bar but with that middle slat cut out, looks too busy in there.

+1 for less polling and more burnouts.

You kents throwing in other options - stick to the poll!! I don't really dig the Scorcher bar much either, but if there is a cooler behind it then that's all that matters. I also like the MMM bar without the stupid fog lights. Probably my favourite after the APV one.

But I've actually got somewhere in between in mind for the AIT. A fricken massive cooler and a stock bar. turbodrift and I recon we can get away with it... Tests so far seem to point towards it working.

Scorcher bar FTW. Im trying to track another one down at the moment. It wont go on the car until its painted so I might use the smaller cooler until that is done or just leave it NA until then.

I looked at other bars and they are all at least $200 more and really need the rest of the kit to look good. That just means more bodywork. I hate bodywork.

Obviously it all depends on how much power you wanna push. If you are content with the look of the car and and the power the small cooler restricts you to, then stock bar.

But if you want more power, Scorcher. I reckon the Scorcher bar looks fucking wicked.

Scorcher bar = bigger cooler.

Bigger cooler = more power.

More power = good.

BI6TIM - I can't wait to see your cooler mounted behind that bar, I might have to get one if it all fits ok...
