Choose machined Silver for a raw aluminum contrast against the dark weave, or anodized Black for an all stealth look. The carbon bar is the same either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CarbonXtreme CSL Style Carbon Fiber Engine Bay Strut Bar takes its shape from the M4 CSL, the most focused car BMW builds on this platform. Where BMW renders that brace in metal, this is the same idea in carbon fiber: lighter, stronger than it looks, and finished to be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA strut bar ties the tops of the front strut towers together, so the front end flexes less under hard cornering and the steering stays truer to your input. The CSL form does it with more drama than a plain bar, sitting high and wide as the centerpiece of the bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e The CSL bar occupies the same space as our Carbon Fiber Air Intake Covers and cannot be fitted alongside them.

The few fine surface pinholes any weave can leave are filled before the clear coat goes on, far fewer than a hand-laid part needs. It is sealed under our heat-resistant 2K clear coat with UV absorbers.
