How close does the tanabe bar get to the brake fluid reservoir? I tried to find pictures of straight side profile to see the clearance (front/back and vertical spacing), but I've not been successful.
Pretty close... I'd say about half an inch. But not too close to worry about.

I would go with a strut bar that covers the entire top of the strut tower where it mounts. Just that much more rigidity.

I feel the same way. I think I am going to go with the UR bar. I just might have to paint it to another color than white.

Any particular reason? Or do you just like that it's one piece?

I think I was one of the first members with the UR bar. I've always believed when it comes to strut braces (bars) stiffer is better. And the UR bar being one piece has to be a bit stronger than the 3 piece bars. One the other hand, if the main reason you're getting a bar is bling, don't get the UR bar. Let's just say looks are not it's strong suit. ;)

Couple of factors. First is the one piece bar, second is the full cover of the strut mount, third is that I found it at a decent price. I really wanted the Cusco bar, but I cant justify spending more on a 3 piece than I will pay for the 1 piece(. As far as "engine bling" goes, I will probably repaint the UR bar to a more aesthetic.

Woah kinda pricey hahaha thanks tho, anyways do you have any pics of the output of it?
the light is focused at a proper angle vs using a led bulb that scatters in the regular housing.

even though the regular housing looks brighter.. reason being is that its scattered light vs properly reflected like these
