Default Suggestionf for a strut tower brace

I guess the title is a little misleading. I just bought a strut tower brace. What I need is some way to dress it up. In the center there are crossmembers that are fine, just a little boring. I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for something cool to attach over them. A vendor with some sort of cool plaque. A large chrome pony. Whatever. Something to dress it up a little. Also. Has someone seen anything billet or billet like to go over the studs etc after the brace is installed?

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

here's how I dressed up mine, with a emblem from a hubcap and some paint.

That's exactly what I'm looking to do. You got that from a hubcap??

An easy way to dress it up might be the Powered by Ford or 281 emblem. Just stick it on and forget it. I would toss up a link but at work a lot of stuff is blocked. Try autobadges or mossmustang.

Thanks for the suggestion. Moss looks like it has a couple good candidates.

Why thanks for the warm welcome!

I was off for a little while. Just starting posting a little bit again. This is my first winter with the car in the garage and it's a little bit depressing. I walk past it on the way to my winter beater but it's under cover and sort of out of sight out of mind. And that's a good thing, as it would drive me nuts to look at it every day and not drive it.

I'm finding it helps if I don't stop modding it. I put a plenum and matching fuel rail covers on it a few weeks ago. Had the sill plates custom painted. Buffed out the rear spoiler and had the chin professionally done. And now just bought this brace.

It's only January so I have a few months to go yet. I'm hoping I can gut it out.

You'll get there...imagine having two tucked away in the garage in storage. It does suck, I agree!!

hey bro, long time no talk... I put the billet covers on mine, the covers screw on the studs but because the brace was on the cover didnt reach the threads so i put a dab of black silicone on the inside and they seem to be stuck on there, I have had them on there for a year now with no problems
