Hey Red, I bought the same Ultra Racing upper Strut Bar and front lower bar. Install of Strut Bar very easy, without instruction. The lower bar looks like I have to disconnect/remove lower control arm to get the supplied Bolt/welded washer in place? BTW, bought UR upper strut and front lower 4-pt bars for wife's 2020 Palisade same time. Thirty minute max to install both. It's still an SUV, just tighter now ;-). My VN goes to track and autocross, can't wait to try out next season! Alas, winter wheels and tires also installed this weekend, so not a real test carried out.

It’s all about traction. Rather FWD, RWD or AWD, rather additional down force from a rear wing, rear diffuser, side splitter or front aero splitter the car will benefit in traction.
More downforce will ultimately reduce top speed. However, this is where engine upgrades come in. To overcome the reduction in top speed, the car has to make more power.
I’m no where near stock, so it’s use has already been thought about and is already in hand. I already have side, rear, front splitters and additional front winglets.

Are you referring to the Ultra Racing front FRONT SUBFRAME TIE (2 POINTS)?
If so it just requires two bolts to be removed.
I am referring to the Ultra Racing Front Subframe Tie (2 Point) for Veloster N. My pictures attached. Comes with 2 bolts (with rectangle washer welded), 2 fender washers and 2 plain metric (grade 8 M10 x 1.25) hex nuts. I added locking split washers. Even though there is no cutting required of lower splash panel like Pierce 2-pt, I will have to remove this brace to remove lower panel, opted for split washer rather than loctite every time.
I had to grind down heads of bolts so that they could fit in subframe hole. This bolt/washer rotates around and contacts inside of subframe to tighten/loosen nuts. This did not affect integrity of weld IMHO. I could have pulled lower control arms as alternate to locate into proper position, but that is more PITA.
Installed now, done.

New EK1 Lite Flash Tuner just arrived from SXTH ELEMENT;
No more having to jail break an OEM ECU, just plug it in and upload tunes. Nice to have all the tunes available to switch between at a push of a button. Uploads the original OEM tune and maintains it in reserve.

Actually they are. They are over laid CFPR not hydro-dipped. Wouldn’t want CF for mirror covers. Some part don’t have to be pure CF.
"Carbon Fiber Polymer Reinforced." Not printed, overlayed with real carbon fiber and polymer layers. You're thinking of Hydro-dipped.
Actually I did mean printed. You can buy ABS sheet with a CF pattern printed on it (I’ve used it). One side is high gloss with the silver CF printing. To be honest CFPR means that short strands of CF are introduced into the plastic to strengthen it - but it doesn’t give any CF weave effect because there’s no woven fibre used.
What Is CFRP? All About Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers — Coordinated Systems Consulting
CFRP is used for reinforcing structures and providing additional stability, strength, and resistance to concrete or reinforced concrete structures. CFRP is also used widely in retrofitting, such as increasing the load capacity in an old bridge that when originally designed, did not have to tolerate

This is just a few examples of automotive CFPR.
And it’s use, just like the mirror caps I installed. Which come is several different weaves 2x2 twill to forged patterns.
These are all CFPR parts.

No, the original supplier is no longer in business, Mr. Kim.
This is about as close as I can get;

Looks like we have been talking cross purposes then as that is ‘real’ carbon fibre and the only plastic involved is the resin. This is also the first time I’ve seen this particular mirror shape done in CF. I’ve seen a lot of covers of this shape but, until now, they have all been ABS with an applied (printed or hydro dip) CF pattern.
