Strut Bar term?

RAUDERRIPPER · 05-03-2021, 01:17 PM

Want to get these bars powdercoated along with the brake calipers. Any idea what the actual name for them is? Can anyone also chime in on the torque specs as well?

RG sport's x3m attached for reference

Vinyl wrap is the easiest.
Just need to remove the kidney grill and wrap.

To each their own but personally not a fan of highlighting random braces

Cool man! I'm gonna wrap it anyway. If it sucks I'll just take it off... no biggie.

All good. We all have our own tastes

Is this integral to the strut? It appears to be a structural support for all the crap hanging on the front clip. Radiator, coolers, etc. I have a Jeep Wrangler with the same supports and it's disruptive aesthetically to the vertical grill lines. Not a fan of accentuating this piece but everyone has different tastes. Throw a neon light strip on it if you want.

I draw the line at neon lights

I like the color addition so far, it's vinyl wrap I can take it off anytime o get board with it. I agree to each his taste and that changes depending on the mood.

For anyone wondering… 3M Cosmic Blue wrap is almost an exact match to MBB. Found a 6"x60" strip on Amazon for $10
