Installed the Amuse R1 Titan Strut Bar today. I know it won't improve the handling, and that isn't why I purchased the part. But it sure makes the engine bay look pretty. 🤤
Haha. I also contacted Honda World too, and they wouldn't budge on price. All of this took place early 2025. Maybe it was just super bad timing or really bad luck with who I worked with. I really wanted to buy local too.
