Default Hartge Strut Bar group buy. Any interest?

Hi...

I know that hartge ti Strut braces are sold out and have to be ordered from Germany...
Since they have to be ordered, how do you like the idea of trying to organize a group buy and negociate the price a bit?
Any interest?

Regards!

No problem.
The bars could be shipped to the US and I would then pay separate mail here.
I believe they are around $260, the front bar.

Regards!

I am sure you guys have visited www.auto-mark.com ---> they have a nice looking strut bar for $199 here in the states. I recently ordered their last Hartge rear spoiler and had a good experience with them.
Maybe we could do a group buy for this strut bar....check it out.

If that is the Hartge, I'm not impressed.

Here is a real bar.

Maybe I can help you guys with the pic of the Hartge front strut bar/brace. Check out the BAV pics I took and look for Vitesse Tuning 318ti in it. It's pic 103 with the strut bar. All orignal parts from the German company. Enjoy the pics!

You must have seen my bar, I was at that meet. The pedals are no hurry, I know what a pain in the ass they are to install.
