Powdercoated strut tower brace: CUSCO bar

I did not like the Blue color that comes on the end links of the Cusco bar.so... I sent these off to Dave Fredericksen for some High gloss Black Powdercoating...

Thanks Dave, your one hell of a Powdercoater..

Good job. Looks 100x better. I never liked the way the blue clashed with the engine bay.

Shit, the funniest part about this job is the paint is electrically attracted, + goes to -.

All you have to do is be aiming in the most general area, and poof! the job is done.

Sometimes, you just get lucky, when it comes to a job.

Nice job Dave. Anybody ever powdercoat the sways? Smitty?

I think some bright red sways would be crazy...not that anyone would ever see them.

Installation looks like a snap right? 3 bolts and washers on each side. No removal of stock bar.

Nice Smitty ...

I got the Cusco bar ... I don't mind the blue (since I have eternal blue pearl) ... but definitely matches your color scheme now.
