Interesting fake strut bar on eBay

It's got the same name (ractive) as the cheap bars that have been selling on eBay for quite a while, but it's more of a Mazda factory knock-off. Looks good:



If I could get one at the current price ($10!) I certainly would:

It would almost have to be worth $10. I could even paint it red, and if JoeD ever asks if it's a real one, I'd never tell him it wasn't.

the onyl way it could ever be considered rice is because it somewhat copys the stock one. but its not like its fiber glass instead of the normal body or anything, or a fake carbon fiber hood. its just a strut bar. and IMO I think it will look very nice

When I put my strut bar in (the regualr ractive for like $60) I noticed an immediate differance in cornering responsiveness. I might get this one since it looks so much better.

The rod ends of the bar look pretty skinny compared to cosco ones. i guess you can't lose if they can be bought cheaply. you never know on ebay though. it's probably got a reserved price.
