Painted rear strut bar?

Flushnismo · 02-23-2012, 10:44 PM

Has anyone done this? I'm thinking about color matching mine but I don't want it to look tacky. lol

Does anyone know how to remove the panel on the side of that bar? I am trying to fix a rattle that seems to be where that bar is against the car or panel... Any help would be great. I would think that bar is removed to be powder coated??

We have wrapped a few of these in carbon fiber.

^^ carbon fiber might look better and less tacky than color matched

to the OP, what color is your interior is it leather?

Another option is to get it wrapped in leather, you can run stitches in various colors etc.

I was going to have mine wrapped in either persimmon or black leather and then fairlady z stiched in the opposite color. But then the strut bar i purchased never got delivered and i gave up.

i like the idea of carbon fiber or burnt titanium over the blue.

Just when I thought I might have a chance at being the first to do something.
Looks good in CF. Im basically getting rid of all of the silver bits on the interior and the strut bar is one of them.
