Item 1: Rear Strut Brace

This rear strut brace came with my car and there are no identifying markings on it, so I don't know what the brand is. Practically every aftermarket part that my car came with was from Rogue Engineering, so that's a good bet.

What you see is what you get! If anyone can pin-point the brand, please do!

$70 shipped for ZHP Mafiosos, $100 at e46f!

$50 picked up in Vancouver, BC.

EDIT: the four nuts in the last picture are NOT included - I put these back on the car. I think our cars have them out of the factory.

Item 3: Carbon fiber engine covers - 2 pieces

Car is in a poorly lit parking lot, so I didn't realize the covers were so dusty. Otherwise in great condition.

Your original covers + $120, and I ship these to you. Basing price on the MSRP for similar covers: http://www.racdyn-usa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=131.74.54.010&Category_Code=newrd

I don't drive my car hard, and am not likely to do much (if any) track time, so I'd prefer to have more trunk space.

I've also done some Google'ing and found this ECIS strut brace (http://www.ecisbmw.com/DMCart/product.php?productid=16157&cat=258&page=1), which looks identical, minus the colour. Might be the same brand/model.

Additionally, I've got a Rouge Engineering front strut brace (carbon fiber) and a carbon fiber engine cover that I'm considering selling. With the engine cover, I don't have an OEM one, so I'd need to do a trade w/ someone.

I might be interested in the valve cover, but FYI mine had a small crack. It's on the header side and in the back so you would never be able to tell unless you take it off

@all - I've updated the original post with pictures & prices for the front strut brace & engine covers.

@Hermes - thanks, but I'd really prefer one without cracks.

No worries, I'm just too lazy to buy a new one since you can't see it. I guess I will one day

And guys, I based all prices off of MSRP's for identical or similar items; I haven't been following the prices of such used items, so if anything is priced unreasonably, please let me know!

I just posted all these items on the local Craigslist, and while looking at my own pictures I realized my front strut bar is NOT made by Rogue Engineering; I have no idea why I was so convinced that was the case before, as there are no identifying marks on it. My mistake, sorry.

I've also lowered all prices on this post, and will lower them to the same values on other forums in a few days, so you guys get the first shot at the cheaper prices! :) Any questions or offers, please PM!

No. Mainly for show......though I suppose it would stiffen up the rear a bit...

Makes the most difference on a vert... issue is that not all 4dr or even coupe parts fit on a vert
