Default Pic Request...Midwest Auto Strut Tower Covers...

Looking for pics of Midwest Auto Gear Strut Tower Covers.....Really looking for those that have used them with a Strut Tower Brace, and would love to see pics of the covers that are made for the STB, but without the STB installed yet.....

Trying to get an idea of how the covers look before the STB is installed.....


Thx,
Mike

the covers will pop off if you have an aftermarket front suspension (struts). The main bolt coming up the middle will pop them off with bumps and turns. I know a guy that it does that to.....just an FYI

I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it. I just installed the Midwest strut covers as well as the Ford Racing STB a couple days ago.

I was so hoping to see these cover in person at a show I went to today, there were several S197's there but hardly any had covers. One guy had some polished billet stuff which was OK, but I really would have liked to see them on a car in person, and I have not yet. It really is a lot of money for a couple pieces of plastic.

I have seen quite a few in person. They look ok... IMO the best thing I have seen was color matched caps that were screwed on. The caps just look a little out of place.
