I never knew there was an actual written language for that jibberish, i stand corrected, and amazed, all at once.
I have to hope it is a joke on the part of one of the regulars, I have to hope, otherwise...

It's better than the RB bar but still not right, they f'd up the hole positions and I've since revised the stiffness. I have several sitting here at the house that the fabricator tried to pawn off on me. When I informed him they weren't right is when the whole deal went sour, there' a reason they're on sale and won't be any more when they're gone.
if anybody wants one I'll let you have it for the cost of boxing and shipping, they're raw metal though, not finished, it's of no use to me ...

Does not matter what level it is at... Motorsports parts always seems to have the worst service.

Well I just recieved the AP bar today. I'd already ordered it before I found out about it's pedigree. Anyway, it's just like TeamRX8 said.
1) Bar is painted not powder coated as advertised.
2) Endlink holes don't line up and are unevenly spaced. Looks like something my 9 year old would do with a hand drill.
3) The holes are sized for the RB endlinks. Stock endlinks won't work.
I'll probably keep it since like Mark said, it's better than nothing; but definitely recommend that no one else follow suit. Wait until the real TeamRX8 bar comes out. I'll be throwing this one in the trash as soon as I can get a real one.
