With all the suede you have done Frank, trying a suede boot is like a must try. Get a donor boot from the yard to play with (use the wire frame and make a template from). This way, going BACK to the stocker is easy.

I just Realized i didnt show u guys the updated pics!!
here they are, let me know what yall think

the brace cleaned up ok with some aluminum polish, looks good even though it does have a few nicks here and there
my little paint job came out looking nice too




as you guys might notice, i flipped the bolt/mounts of the stock strut bar upside down just to cover the holes that would've been left behind exposed if i didnt cover them with anything
the brackets hold them down pretty good in place.
