Finally installed my strut tower bar (pics)

It was cold out there, [N.J.] but my Dad and I got it done. I'm glad I decided against having the dealer install it. They wouldnt even give me a definitive price. Screw em. Here's some pics of the bar and my custom zoom-zoom sticker. Have a good one!

Edit: I forgot to say how much I've been enjoying it so far. I think it really has impacted the handling. Coming off ramps and taking turns are so much easier than before. Anyone selling sway bars?

Darryl (mazdaspeedwest on the board) can make a Zoom Zoom sticker for you and I am pretty sure that it'll be cheaper than $25.
Drop him a line!

My friend made it for me. He runs a sticker business. If you want I can get you one for a good price.

How much would you suppose? I'd like one the same size as the one you have.

I only have a bigger one left, Maybe double the size of the one on my car. You can send him the picture of my zoom zoom sticker and ask him for a price..unless u want the bigger one I have.

Don't they give them away at the dealership for free? Check there first in the sales area.

Believe it or not, my dealer said they didn't have any. So, I had to get my friend to make a few for me!

I guess you could email www.mymazda.com too
