There aren't as many Lotuses as there are Honda Civics so there is no benefit of economies of scale.

The other day I saw a new titanium front strut bar for a Civic for $125 shipped. No one expects those prices for a Lotus. You guys should see how much Ferrari charges for a frickin' ashtray.

Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now...
Whos bashing?
I only see people letting everyone else know what the avg. I/C price is. Also people stating their opinions on the price of this product.
I dont consider that bashing the seller. Im pretty sure everyone here enjoys and appreciates thomasio products.

Will it come with adapter brackets to bolt onto your engine? Will the strut on your engine bay cover clear your Internet intercooler?
:
Yes they all will be Bar-plate design.
No they wont be able to bolt right up. But its not that difficult nor expense to fab up some simple brackets.

Heres a question.

What brand core are you using?
