i like the way you put together the badges, now put it back on like that!
Not on the outside. I'm trying to get Her to design an engine cover so I can custom build it. We were thinking of using the badges on that. That project wouldn't happen until summer though, as I would probably be doing some fiberglassing and I do that outside (it's 5.0 degrees out right now).
Nice mods.
So no more rubbing issues with the strut bar after shaving off the grommets?
Don't know yet. As soon as we were happy with the fit we pulled it off. We're having the brackets powdercoated.
I figured I would have to open up the holes a little on the drivers side mount because I read a few posts saying that side wouldn't go low enough. Well, the lowest the bar would go was lower than the top of the engine cover so I either had to go up with the bar or lower with the engine cover. After examining the engine cover, I found I could lower the cover a couple mm by trimming the grommets. Now the thing keeping the cover from going down any lower is the foam on the underside. After looking at it, the foam could be half as thick as it is. I need to find some new foam now. But as it sits now, the bar has a decent amount of room above and below the bar. We'll see if it rubs anywhere once we put it back on and drive the car.
Here's some other pictures we took along the way.
