Default Solid Strut Bar Options

What are the options out there? Looking for a solid strut bar. Pics are always welcome.

I've got so far:
ASM
Cusco Titanium
Password:JDM
OMP
Neuspeed

Any others? Anyone have any feed back on these? I like the ASM one the best, design and functuality, but my ass isn't ready to pay that much for a strut bar

The Carbing bar is great looking as well. The fit's damn tight, but it's a nice piece of bling!

you don't actually mean "solid" right?--cause there are none. i think what you meant was that there are no pivot points?

anyway, i had the comptech aluminum one myself, which i believe to be the best (in a theoretical sense) in terms of "performance" (for rigidness and weight, assuming there are any gains to be had from such a device). it also looks really trick. there is also a comptech ti version. but depending on design, ti can be more flexible than aluminum. both do not pivot at the brackets.

I've got the Password bar. It's great to rest on while I work on the engine.

I've got the Comptech titanium bar. I really like the solid design of it. Covered it in red carbon fiber for aesthetic purposes... I'm one of the people who believes they noticed a difference from installing strut bars. Very happy with it.

Are you buying this for aesthetic purposes only?

Would love to see your reasoning on this, never seen, nor felt any proof. Just for looks and a handy spot to work on the engine bay, don't drop major money on this product, just find a design you find is appealing, and make sure it won't interfere with future build plans.
