p.s. I would suggest having your fabricator make you a billet front strut tower brace to replace your Dinan one, to carry the visual theme of the rear brace into the engine bay.

The rear brace was a one off item and also a bit of show.
To do a front one I'd be looking at 5k, so I'd rather put that in some other location.

-Understandable.
A less expensive alternative might but to just polish the Dinan brace to the same sheen as the rear brace, and maybe pop out the CF inserts and replace them with billet inserts milled with the name of the Beast?

I'm thinking about doing something to the Dinan brace, just not sure yet.
The wheels are DPE S20.
Front are 8.5 I think (maybe 9) with 255/35/19
Rears are 10" and running 275/30/20.
They came wrong from the factory, but the back centres are growing on me.
He will probably scotch brite the chrome lips to dull them off, as their not to my liking.
My builder has done that before and says it looks great like a brushed stainless look.

How much gravel will it hold? 1/2 ton? 3/4 ton? :-)
And won't all that gravel scratch the strut bar?
