Does not mean it cannot be improved upon. I have had other cars that saw improvement over the standard bar. The new f80 has an additional bar as well.

I am holding out to see how much the f80 bar will be (and if it will fit). This is also my hope for upgraded sways.

Ok so the point is it doesn't fit with the engine cover?

Can you put some thick spacers (washers) under the concerning points for clearance or its not even close?

Thanks.

but it could fit with washers just not sure about the hood height
