Absolutely! Too much of a good thing isn't always good.

Yea, except for the cracked radiator paint...just got the new one in today. Hopefully it doesn't do the same thing or 1200.00$ down the drain.

What do you think of-
Black Strut tower brace
bolt on hood strut kit

then getting the battery and the other covers painted to match.

Keep the strut tower brace black or paint body color?

If you get the strut tower brace you're going to have to modify or remove the strut tower covers. I don't know how much work is involved in that modification but that's just some food for thought. I would leave it black if you do install it. And hood struts are a MUST! Sorry to hear about the radiator cover...that's crazy man.

Maybe cutting the strut tower covers to allow the bar to fit through? Yea, that radiator cover has costed us some points at shows. If the second one starts cracking we will be asking for our money back.
