Polished Strut Tower Brace?
Mine is that dull aluminum and I thought about doing a mirror polish and paint the brackets body color. I was wondering if anyone here has polished their strut tower brace if so, would you mind posting up a picture?

Thats exactly what I was looking for! Do the ends slide off easy so they can be painted? Did you polish the back side as well?

If you polish it an paint the ends as nice as the Rally Yellow one you better upgrade the hardware.

That yellow one is awesome! Did you have to remove the "texture" on the mounting brackets before you painted them because they look really smooth.

Those braces look great, I'm currently in the process of painting mine, when I was painting the ends I knocked it over and messed up the black and had ran out of paint. I have another can coming tomorrow so I have to lightly sand, paint and clear. But heres the process so far:
