rpretzel Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I just bought a pre-painted one from JLT. That way I could keep the stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I just bought a pre-painted one from JLT. That way I could keep the stock one. Where did you get those strut tower covers? Can the plastic be pulled out easy to reach adjustable shocks hidden below? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the covers from Midwest Auto Gear. They just snap on. I haven't tried to remove them, so I'm not sure how difficult it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got the blank ones. You also have to be sure to select the correct strut brace when you place your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELITE 1 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I am going to pick up my Ford Racing strut tower brace today, I had it chromed, I will post pics soon, also before you have it powder coated it will have to be sand blasted first, then re-powder coated, it cost me $65 to have my new brace brace sand blastd before it was chromed, then another $200 to have it chromed, so powder coating it should be a little cheaper....haha!

TexasShelby Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I had mine powder-coated and love it. It's very easy. Oh yeah, I had the hood strut brackets coated too.... I'm in Vegas on an overnight and am leaving for Shelby's place for a little look-see.! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy Dave Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Removed my brace for painting, and as usual taking longer than expected, anyone see any problem driving car for a day without brace? Thanks No problem, go for it. Just don't do a clutch dump with slicks on while it's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
