The Cusco 188 540A didn't look as strong as the OP's. I ordered a Cusco once but the send me 187 541 A which don't fit.
Rollaboy from with the build thread also run into same problem that they sent 187 541 A which don't fit

I have been checking everyday. No new updates. Status says expected shipping is May 11. We will see what happens then.
Some folks said it would rub the hood lining. I will report back if I do get the bar.

Thank you so much. Any updates would be appreciated. I can't wait to upgrade the handling on my car!

Thanks jzwu, I think if they send the right part number as you ordered, like Rollaboy, it will be exact and no rub.
Good luck to you.

Now wish me luck.

That's what read all the time, late and the usual steep price. You would think somebody Stateside would take this demand and make some braces. But no.

Sorry guys, I've been chasing an oil leak that playing hide and go seek with me forever. So the engine cover has been off the car,
BUT I'll test fit it this weekend and take some pics.

Just checked Fedex tracking. The shippment was sent out in Japan on May 15 and now it is in San Jose, CA.
Fedex doesn't deliver on weekends so it will be delivered next Monday. Only takes 4 business days. Too bad Fedex doesn't deliver on Saturdays like UPS.
