(this stuff made some of my hoses that looked quite ashy, look so much better)
Not familiar with tub o towels but i use the plastic restore on my winjet fig lights.

that plastic restore also works great on hoses and plastic bits in the engine bay, just coat, wait like 10-15 mins then wipe off with micro fiber cloth and it will look almost like new again. First time using that product and I'm quite pleased with it.

What's with some of you folks that live in California, with shining and dusting vehicle parts ......

Reminds me of a few years back, I was visiting my folks down in Hollister, CA, when my brother (who lived about 2 miles away) rolled up in his new pickup truck with his NEW WHEELS.

He said, hey, look at my new wheels. I looked out the kitchen window and said, nice. He said come out and take a closer look. When we got to his truck, he pulled out a California duster and dusted them off ....... like they got dusty on the two mile trip on paved roads.

......... anyone ...??

It is the hotchkis strut bar, I just installed it yesterday only noticed a subtle difference but I haven't driven the car much since the install. So far I like it, I think it looks cool. I took the hotchkis sticker off because I wanted more of an oem look.

Do you think there is a way to attach a custom brake master cylinder brace onto that like the AEM strut bar comes with?
I mean like something simple that you can drill a couple holes to mount to that bar.

Like this:
but not welded on.
