The welds are good, not the best I have seen, but they dont look too bad. I was impressed with the product overall, the car feels noticeably stiffer in the rear now. They do not do much finish work so I painted the bar semiflat, they just barely paint it to keep surface rust/corrosion off, so I would sandblast it and paint it before installing. The way the miata bar mounts is extremely solid (you could easily lift the car by it i would think) it took 12 grade 9 nuts/bolts and two studs to install it. I would buy another if needed.
