Bzzzzzzzzzz! Wrong! You aren't the first!

Maybe in THIS thread, but not others.

Basically because I have subtle complimentary yellow accents thru-out my MBM car. Yellow calipers, yellow pullies, yellow crossmember. I think it gives some nice contrasts. Trust me...it is tastefully done and looks fine to me. And so far the folks I've shown it to have all been positive.
This same incredulity came up when Goodfella was determining the color for the strut bars....seems there were quite a few that just couldn't get their heads around the idea of things like black bars on red cars and yellow bars on blue cars, etc.

I was woundering the same thing. A yellow bar on a montego green car is not my cup of tea.

Can you get that strut bar in different colors? Also did you need to drill any holes to fit it , as i know with some strut bars you have to drill the mounting holes.

One of our senior members here (GoodfellaFD3S) had several bars for sale, and prior to the sale everyone was polled on what color(s) they wanted. There is a thread about it in the 'For Sale' section: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=537013

And no, I did not have to drill out anything. I did have to jack the car up and let the weight come off the strut towers before everything lined up perfect, but after that all was just fine.

i think it looks good, BAJA you should put up more pics of the different accents to really show the car in its entirety so everyone can get the scheme of things and not just think your color blind.
