I've personally thought of getting the plastic ones and drilling a hole to allow the Koni adjusters to poke through. You could even possibly find some sort of trim ring to put around the hole too.

A long time ago I got a good deal on a Roush strut tower brace. Aside from looking cool, it has really slick billet end pieces that use a simple stainless plate over the center. I used to put them on and pop them off to make my adjustments (they are very easy to remove). I care about such things less and less these days, so now I just leave them off. Still, even with an open hole I think they look pretty nice.

Best,

My Roush STB has nothing over the center of the strut.

Does the stock STB fit over your supercharger?

Just guessing, but maybe most of the folks who have bought adjustables are less inclined toward doing appearance mods?


Since you want something different from stock(ish), why not make up your own concept that shows off the fact that your struts are adjustable? Since you have the yellows, make up a pair of nicer adjustment ***** to put in the struts at least while you're at the shows. You could even make them captive by the plates so they don't grow legs when you aren't looking, and the plates themselves could be etched with some sort of calibration markings. Guaranteed to be different at least for a while.

If you also have camber plates or the Steeda HD upper strut mounts, maybe you'd want to show those off as well for the camber adjustment capability that isn't there in the pure stock condition and only "hide" the center holes.

If this directed to me I don't know as my car had the Roushcharger installed by the dealer along with the Roush STB and I've never tried installing a stock STB.
