There is an engine bay pic of my car around, but in the pics, the bar is blue, it was painted with cheap paint, that has mostly flwked off, and that I cleaned up some, but some paint remover would get rid of the rest. The bar itself is in great shape, otherwise. Someone is supposed to buy it by Thurs/Fri, but I will let you know if that falls through. As for shipping, I am going down to the States on Saturday, so I would be shipping it out from the US, which I would do if you were buying it as well.
