Pics of stainless steel Ram Air inserts, chrome filler bird & Strano front 35mm

Well, I got motivated and installed the Strano 35mm hollow front swaybar (performance red powdercoat) with the (silver chrome powdercoat) saddlebrackets. If you purchase the Strano swaybars you will have to powdercoat them yourself. Sam only offers the bars in a painted gray/black finish. The Strano swaybar is a very nice piece for the money and quite a bit lighter than most competitors bars at the same price. I will probably install the rear Strano bar next week. The install was very straight-forward and probably took me 1 hour (and that was screwing around taking my time) I also took a few pics of the the Stainless Steel polished Ram Air inserts and the chrome bird / Trans Am on the filler panel. I had put these items on a couple of months ago and just never got a chance to take some pics. Sorry for the low-light conditions on some of the pics. Amazingly the car does feel a tad more responsive to steering input. I was kinda surprised because I thought it handled well with the old BMR 32mm frt / 21mm rear setup. The Strano front / rear setup is considerably lighter than any other solid bar on the market On the way back to the garage I got a chance to completely open up the bird in 3rd gear and it felt good to put my foot in this thing and ring it's neck out a little bit I can tell a huge difference in throttle response and linear power delivery with the DELTEQ ignition setup. The 315/30/18 drag radials felt real gummy on monday evening with temp stuck around 95. Life is good, I'm happy for now !

Lookin good! I really like the stainless ram air grills. Its a subtle appearance mod but I think it adds that right touch of detail. I've only seen your car and my own with those grills and I like it that way haha.
