C-pillar bar?

Anyone know where in GTA can get a c-pillar bar for civic? just a generic one, don't have extra cash to pay for the brand name. I saw some on ebay, price is attractive, 20+ US for a steel one and 100+US for a CF one, but the shipping alone is 24US!!!
Pls if anyone know where I can get a cheap one, let me know or anyone want to buy from ebay, maybe we can buy together and save on shipping

It is hard to buy a generic C-pillar bar in TO. Not that many shops have them. This is considered the next step up item compare to tower bars. In terms of product exposure to general public. I one time went to a shop in Pac Mall and asked "Hi, do you have C-pillar bar?" and the kid was like... huh? Never heard of it???

Most C-pillar will run you 200 above, if not, 300. Cusco and J's Racing both make nice c-pillar bars. If you really want to save money, Ebay is your answer. Unless you find the seller who also lives in TO and you can go pick up.

I know, even I am chinese and I never buy anything for my car in Pacific mall except air fresher.

So anyone want to buy from ebay together and we can save some $ from shipping if we buy together???

my budget? not sure, actually doesn't really have a budget but want to keep down the cost as much as possible. IMO, those generic bars and those with brand names, they do the same thing if their design structure are same.
I won't get J's one or Cusco for sure, they are both with pin ends, just the same design as generic one. Not worth the extra cash for their brand name, maybe it just me.

ALEX makes C-pillar, too. It is on sale at Speedstar for 195. If you want to check that out.

Here is what that carbon one looks like. This is the ALEX one that is for sale at Speedstar.

Personally, judging by both, I can't tell the difference. If anything, I would go with ALEX. But if that is the pin-end link you were talking about, then I don't know if there are other alternatives to it.

Both of them look similar to ebay's one. I am cheap so probably will go ebay and get it, for bars, I guess the fuction will be the same unless the design is different like I mention before.
So is there anyone want to get this bar? maybe we can come up together and make up a groupbuy or something???
