i've checked out some '09s when it hit the dealership... i think only the R3 has the 4pt bar as all others still have the same strut bar.

however... an extra oil nozzle is something all previous models are short changed on.

i voted '08, but looks are easily modable. if this IS going to be your keeper, and you intend to learn rotary maintainance... somewhere down the line you'll want to upgrade or wish you had the extra oil nozzle to begin with.

if this car isn't gonna follow you to the grave... get the '08. enjoy the extra luxuries.

GL on ur purchase

The strut bar is on all of them, it's definitely on my Touring anyways

^^i can be wrong... the cover does look like its cut out to fit a 4pt.

could it be for some kind of base model? idk. i retrofitted a '09 strut bar in mine's. its way cheaper than ny aftermarkets i've searched for... and no stupid pivot points that makes it useless. even on those MS bars...

Not sure, maybe it's not for the Sport trim, but the Touring and R3 have it for sure, I haven't checked a GT though

the gt i test drove had a 4 point brace.

and wow, we were sooooooo close to buying it, a few signatures away, and now were basically back at the drawing board. im not a rich kid either so its not like i can just say 09 and get it. i'll probably get an 06 or 07 to save my parents and i bundle of money. but thanks every for their opinion, it all helped.

Is it the 09 GT you are referring to just to be clear?
