I like #1. Billet pieces sometimes come out looking "half finished" but that one is nicely detailed, looking as if it's made by someone who's thought out every little thing.

I will second the removal of the steps. As I said before, I think a more simple and smooth look is better.

As for the steps, we will work on an entirely different design that uses chamferred "lightening holes" instead of slots and no steps. That should satisfy the streetfighter crowd.

I voted for #2.. i like the "airiness" of it.. ie. the bigger holes..

Nice work Steevo!

#1 without the steps

. I like the beveled ends on the slots. A smoother transition on the end would better match the slots ( I think ).

number one for me, and I think the steps are cool

It's also an official Twist R&D car. So it will be first to receive all of the cool 69 Camaro parts that we are working on.

Rocket,
We messed around with a few other designs. If you have a special fender strut in mind, we can build 'em for you. Shouldn't be too difficult now that the basic program is set up. Figure on no more than $250/pr. We also have a radical design in mind that is a complete departure from the basic "long and narrow" strut profile, but they would run around $500/pr or more--World's most expensive fender struts!! Aluminum has gone up 40%.

I like the design of #1 & #2, but instead of the brace being attached on top of the radiator support I want to secure it to the vertical portion of the support and fill in the mounting hole on top. This would hide the bolt securing the brace to the support and provide a cleaner look.

no steps, make it smooth. I voted for No. 1 but now I like No.2 after seeing the close up of No.1

**novanutcase** · 11-12-2006

No. 2 and, I agree, no steps. I'd like to see it a little "chunkier" looking. Even thouhg it may not yield any performance difference it would look all business!

We can do that, but it's a totally different design that starts out with a much bigger slug. It's a one off part so it will be pricey. If you are interested, visit this webpage and give us a call.

I voted #2 but I like #4 too. (the one on the flyer that I picked up at SEMA in the booth) Instead of the larger indentation on the sides they had 4 or 5 smaller grooves machined in. I would also like it without the steps.

**6'9"Witha69** · 11-16-2006

#2 has 10 more votes than 1 and 3 combined. Do we have a winner??

**dipren443** · 11-18-2006

Are the struts the same length for 2nd Gens? I would definitely be interested in a set if so. I voted #2 as well, but I agree that it would look better without the steps close to the mounting location on the rad support.

Yup. We sure do. There are 10 sets of the second design already made and ready for immediate shipment. And the design has a name: I-Beam.

Sorry, they are not the same length. We'll get to work on the 2nd gen struts this week and ship in two weeks.

**colt zantop** · 11-19-2006

Ill take a set........

**TonyHuntimer** · 11-19-2006

I chose 2 for its simplicity. It looks easiest to clean, which is important for a guy like me that drives his car everyday...even in the rain.

Did I mention that I'm disgusted? How dare you come out with a product that's close to an idea I've been kicking around for 2 years. Shame on you...I mean shame on me.

I chose #3 but all look like a good place to hold sockets and spark plugs during a thrash.. lol

**Steve Chryssos** · 11-20-2006

Yeah, the struts clean up pretty easily. Just hit them with some red scotchbrite and they look good as new. Tool storage, huh? Gosh, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe we should make a rack that snaps into the strut and holds tools, a beer and some beef jerky?
