Default Look what I made

This has been my project in my chassis fab class for the last few days. What do you think?



It cost me a total of 16 dollars to make.
What do you think, red strut plates and silver bar?

What's the rest of your underhood like?

Are your mounts red to match the car? if so then I would say red strut plates and the bar should match the other bars in your car.

I was thinking have the bar silver cause the engine has all that bare aluminum and the plates red so they blend into the strut tower.

The diagonal braces are black but I want to keep them that way cause I dont like the way they look and I like how the black blends in.

I definately do not want to paint the bar red.

Amy, my first thought was silver and black as well. Im still keeping that idea at hand.

I would go with red plates and black bar to match the other bars in the engine compartment. If you ever change the other bars, or the color of them, then re-paint your STB bar to match.

Just my humble opinion though.

Good work!
