you mean the R3 4pt strut tower bar?
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

^^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...

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.
