Default Targa Bar

Took my first test drive with my new AFSB Targa Bar from Pro Street Customs today. Nearly froze my a** off (43 degrees), but I gotta say it was worth it. This is an awesome well-engineered accessory that makes all the difference when you have the targa top off. My 92 LT1 A4 Coupe already has an RD Racing Cross-Frame Brace, an RD Camber Brace, and an ASM Harness Brace, but with the Targa Top removed I still had that annoying Cowl Flex shake thing going on. I have looked at other brands of targa bars, but the way they protrude above the windshield frame always made me want to explore other ways to stiffen my car. I found pics of the AFSB on an internet search and contacted Tom Gaspar of Pro Street Customs and he built one for me. This is an awesome looking piece- very strong and with a flawless black powdercoated finish looks great on my car. Does not protrude above the windshield frame either. Best of all- this is the final piece of the puzzle to making my C$ as stiff as it should be. Awesome.

Tom is a forum member as well- you can email him at: quick96vette@yahoo.com
I do not think you can beat this thing and the price is right too- $375 including shipping!!!
