Let's try something a little different. What if a company let you, the enthusiast, choose the final design for a product? We had some downtime at the CNC shop. So we developed a few different looks for our new fender struts. You get to pick which style we make. Vote for your favorite design. Price for the fender struts is $145/pr with hardware.

DESIGN #1

DESIGN #2

DESIGN #3

[Ralph LoGrasso]

I voted number 1, but I was vacillating between 1 and 2. After studying the pics again, I think I would vote number 2. The light color of the car as a background makes it a bit difficult to distinguish some of the smaller design differences.

[Steve Chryssos]

Here's the detail on #1

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Thanks! That looks Bitchin' up close. I'm torn between 1 and 2, but I'd be happy with either of the three on my car. $145 is a great price, too.

[dhardison]

I like #1. Wonder why Gm didn't put fender strut bars on '68-'74 Novas?

[trapin]

That wouldn't happen to be Jeff Trush's old car, would it?

Interesting....Who owns it now?

Oh, and by the way...number 1. Thanks.

[colt zantop]

yeah...thats Jeff's old car... who bought it??? anyway, #1 or #2 is my pic. when will these be available???

[69HuggrrrPT]

1 or 2 for me as well, I picked 2 before I saw the close up of 1. Do you have a close up of #2?

[rocketrod]

Will any other designs be available, or is this it?

[TPI Monte SS]

I voted #2. Someday when I have spare cash I'll buy a pair and adapt them to the Monte!

[toxicz28]

Gotta say #2.

[Steve Chryssos]

Yup. That's Jeff's old car now owned by Jimmy Mulvey. It now has a full DSE front clip upgrade and a sweet 383. Soon to get a Quadra-Link. Lucky me, I get to stare at it every day and drive it every once and a while (just to help keep the juices flowing).

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 picked #uno but dos is also very nice

[6'9"Witha69]

I was looking at 1 and 2, but voted 2. I liked the simpler look, it fit that car better. Now, something with a ton of billet and bling underhood would be more suited for #1.

[Nine Ball]

I would like #2, but without the "steps" in the front. Maybe just a smooth transition there to keep it simple.

[Bow Tie 67]

I don't care for the steps either, looks to scifi. smooth transition looks more buisness like.

[Steve Chryssos]

This is fun!! Thanks everyone. Keep those votes coming.

[tracar91]

I voted for #3, since I love the underdog. Plus, I like it as much as 1 & 2

[Damn True]

Two, no steps please. Just a smooth bevel.

[colt zantop]

I agree now that I look at them...the step needs to be a smooth bevel like mentioned above.....
