In an ironic twist the released product comes with a blurred paint job.

The cut-out should honestly carry over the rounded edge off the top of the bracket so it blends with the general profile of the bar. As with your hood struts you should package a golden plaque with your G*S logo so the user can apply it (or not) to their desired location on the product. Another option is to laser etch or applique something near the passenger side bracket on front/top of the tubular so people looking into the engine can read the name immediately, that is the typical viewing angle for most users. I know your motif is gold on black, so a gold outline of your branding would look very clean and would stick out under direct/indirect light.

To keep the MSRP low on the initial launch you should probably focus on keeping the color selection low, matching the black to the triangulation bars would be best as your end user will most likely be making this their first modifications to the vehicle.

You need to put some thought into your packaging, my prior products showed up in a plain white packing box with everything loose. Also your supplied stickers for this product for external application should be your G*S logo as it is your defining logo. Everyone has a name, but a strong logo creates a recognizable brand.

Still wondering what this product will offer over all of the currently released strut tower braces besides being produced from steel.
