I really like the simplicity of it. Definitely looks OEM but I could also see something with the triangulation bars integrated somehow. I'm not one who needs red/blue crap in the engine bay. But what about a "bare metal" or "primered" option so folks can go get them powdered whatever color they want? (Primered just to keep rust off...any PC'er will blast the parts anyway).

I'll let the more smarter people overrule me here, but I've heard a few times that if a strut bar isn't really beefy, it's almost useless. If it's going to function it needs to be strong, not a flat piece of aluminum.

Visually, I'm not sure about the mounts, only because I don't know how strong those mounting points are, like someone mentioned above, vs. the strut studs. Maybe it's fine and I'm just used to seeing a common mounting style.

Lastly, and this isn't an issue for me (at least not any time soon), but I'm sure some out there will want to make sure it fits with X/Y/Z turbo or SC kit or catch can, etc.

Great job so far, can't wait to see where this goes!
