This Perrin front strut bar in red is a must - have for Subaru enthusiasts. It fits 2008 - 2021 Subaru WRX, 2008 - 2021 Subaru STI, and 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT models. The strut feet are made of machined aluminum, while the bar uses mandrel bent thin - wall 4130 Cro - Moly tubing. The feet have a black anodized finish, and the bar comes in a textured or glossy powder coat. It only takes about 30 minutes to install, and an installation guide is included. This ultra - strong strut tower brace gets rid of strut tower flex and looks great in your engine bay. Note that 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT owners need to trim the plastic engine cover. It works well with both OEM and Perrin top - mount intercoolers.

Using this Perrin front strut bar is straightforward. First, make sure you have the installation guide handy. If you own a 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT, you'll need to trim the plastic engine cover before starting the installation. The whole process should take around 30 minutes. Just follow the steps in the guide carefully. As for maintenance, since the strut feet have a black anodized finish and the bar has a powder - coated finish, they're pretty durable. But it's a good idea to check the bar regularly for any signs of damage, like scratches or dents. If you notice any issues, you might want to get it inspected or repaired. Also, keep it clean to make it last longer. That's all you need to know to enjoy the benefits of this great strut bar.
