The guts are very different. Building upon an idea is not the same as copying a product. To be honest, I'm surprised anybody at all still makes a bar that doesn't follow the runners. It just makes sense. The same goes for being a one-piece design. It surprises me that 3-piece designs still exist. Now, take the concept of it being single piece and following the runners and see how you can make it better. He changed the overall look of it and reenforced the insides to make it stronger and even less prone to flex and bending. Test fitting and R&D was performed. We know this because there are many posts from years ago where people were having it tested and some cars weren't fitting properly. If it was a pure carbon copy, this wouldn't be a problem. As for the rear bar, using your logic, any single piece strut bar from here to eternity will be a copy no matter how different it looks. Have you ever inspected them side by side in your own hands? They share certain attributes but are very different bars in their own ways.

Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM The unicorn gets its revenge... -- Scotts94z32 on September 19, 2006 at 11:12 AM CLICK FOR DETAILS ABOUT BUYING A ZAMA POSTER!!!!
