Thumbs up BMR Strut Tower Brace Modified...

I purchased a BMR strut tower brace from Jegs knowing I would be modifying it to my wants and needs.

Here is what I'm going to do, first I cut out the BMR logo and smoothed out the welds where the gussets are. I also smoothed out the press break lines on the mounting brackets.

I started messing around for a new logo to put in the center of the brace (pics to be uploaded soon) I have settled on just the Camaro logo.

I am also going to be fabricating nut plates to be installed under the towers, I want to be able to take this brace on and off from the top end with out having to drop the struts every time to do so..

I will update as I move along..

Again pics to be uploaded soon at where I am at now..

Reppin 5280! Looks nice, wish my Hotchkis didn't have to drop the struts to install it too.
