Pardon my ignorance but I was thinking a strut bar would require a realignment after install(?) And can they all just mount to the existing brackets?
Damn, I sound like a NOOB.
Search damnit!

It's tough to know what info is accurate on some items.
I found that the majority recommended level ground and then bolt it on.
make sure to tighten the 4 nuts to 36 lb-ft with a torque wrench.
The end brackets on this bar distort a little bit after tightening the nuts down.
Not perfect, but well worth the $70 I paid for it.
I do feel a tiny bit more stability up front, but it's nothing major
there are some that say they feel a real difference and others
that say the STB is all Bling.
I like the look of it

Very nice. Are the red wires a grounding kit? Notice any difference aside from looks?
For some reason your bay looks damn nice without a radiator cover. Your radiator looks so fresh n clean!

Yeah, the red wires are the Sun Auto Hyper Grounding Kit.
The red box and 3 other wires are the Hot Inazma Hyper Voltage System.
Honestly, I think the grounding kit and voltage system do nothing for the car!!!
I bought into the hype! More than anything the wires look cool, that's about it.
Waste of $$$$

WyattH,
About the radiator... thanks
I really like my car clean, so after removing the black plastic stock air guide
( in preparation for another purchase I've made ... AUT CarbonFiber CIA Plate)
I thought it was a great opportunity to use an old stiff toothbrush
to remove all the bugs and little rocks from the radiator.
I also used 1500 wet/dry sand paper to lightly polish up the
A/C tubing and Cannister (being very careful around the stickers.
it's a tight area and you can't get at everything, but it does look better overall.
then I wiped it all down with a clean rag.
