Smile Poor Cusco quality...

I bought a CF cusco strut bar from Vivid racing some weeks ago, and I just got it this afternoon, and boy am I disappointed on the japanese quality. The cf weave on the bar is all messed up on the middle part from side to side. I

Why did you install it on your car??? Just send it back and ask for a new one. Make them pay for the return shipping and replacement shipping or just cancel the order.

i've got the same strutbar....i've gotta admit that the weave is a little f'up....i bought mine from modacar.com and so did my dad...we both have the same carbon one and quality is impecable...sorry to hear about your bad experience with cusco and vivid racing dude....but just a heads up, vivid racing is always a little more money and you have to become a member...screw that....modacar is awesome...no problems.

Most cusco bars looks similar to that...its just a regular bar wrapped in c/f...what did you expect?
