Looks like your usual Strut Bar. Shouldn't have any problem with the oil caps. Make sure it isn't too flimsy.

My pilot bar looks exactly like that. No, no trouble with oil changes, but you'll have to use a funnel to get oil back in.

Just my $.02

The only thing I see wrong with that is the $69.95 price tag. I wouldn't pay over 50 bucks for a strut tower bar...

I was thinking about doing that with my car too.
Since i have no knowledge of suspension what-so-ever can someone explain to me what that bar's function is? and how it adds to the feel & handling? is it hard to install? and where to go on-line for a good cheap one?
Sorry so many questions but i need to learn somewhere...
Thank you in advance :-)
