#9847, "Front upper strut bar hood clearance"




          

i just bought front and rear USB off ebay and after i installed it, i noticed that it touches the hood in 2 places. i was wondering if any of yours do. i thought that it was supposed to have room to flex if it needed too, because it's only one of those cheap aluminum ones. i don't want to develope a bulge in my hood from it. to check if it was touching i put peanut butter on the bar and closed the hood. the places that touch the hood got peanut butter on the hood at that spot. anyway i stupidly thought that i could make a neat indent in the bar at the spots that were touching the hood, and ended up screwing up the bar, so it's no longer usable . it was only $30 but i'm a little pissed. what is a good inexpensive bar to get?..basically one that fits right. also, i got a rear bar from the same seller and put it on and it touches the back ledge that comes down with the trunk. it's not that bad though, and the trunk still closes fine, but i was wondering if anyone has clearance issues with their bars, and what bar everyone has. tia
