Lightbulb cheap mod idea

I was thinking about getting some of that Carbon fiber print sticker stuff on the Strut brace ( i think that is the name of it). Since I have the CF engine cover i think it would look nice. the only prob I see is that I am not that good at doing things like that.

What Strut Brace do you have? Any link to an on-line source? Curious about getting one for an 07 TL-S.

I think he means addint the overlays to the stock strut brace

07 tl-s strut brace is suffice, anything else is just cosmetic

Right. Thanks. I did some follow up searching and have a follow up question (two actually):

For the 3G, specifically, the TL-S, is there an After Market Strut Brace that is better than the OE? From what I've found, I think the answer is "no".

Also, can anyone direct me to the Parts Drawing and/or Part Number for the OE Strut Brace?

I did finally find the drawing and part number. It's in the "Front Lower Arm" section.

I've seen it a thousand times, but never noticed the Strut Brace.


Thanks for looking out.


It's Item #14.
