Looking at above pics reminded me of something. What is the solution for the AC line interference with the strut bar?

We'll be including a wrap-around abrasion resistant sheath that will go around the AC line where it contacts the strut bar. It's very low profile and designed for applications just like this. It'll be practically invisible and doesn't require tape, clamps, zipties, adhesives, anything. So it'll handle protective duties while not sticking out like a sore thumb. Pretty nifty actually.

That's a nice observation/solution to the AC lines.

Also black. But judging from the PS'd photos above, a body color matching dark blue would be amazing.

Bloody Hell, now I'm back to red.

Maybe I should buy two so I can alternate.

See, that's literally win/win

Cool, I'll add you up! Contrary to what some members are saying, the current choice is only between texture black, and texture red. You can't really go wrong either way.

Will do, and excellent choice!

I'm still keeping count, and the percentages are staying consistent, which is a good thing. Keep letting us know though! If you're on the list and haven't told us your preference post up! If you're not on the list, let us know and post up which color you'd prefer! There MIGHT even be enough in the end for you flip-floppers (you know who you are!).
