Strut covers
I was looking at my strut covers and have some decent black ones but was wondering if any company make billet or polished aluminum pieces?

Re: Strut covers
Yeah, not the actual strut mount but the small black plastic dust cover over the nut/bolt/and bearings.
I've seen some cars with them, but they were custom pieces. I just was looking to see if any companies make them.

Re: Strut covers
not to start a fight, and to each his own, but why just that little dust cover?

Re: Strut covers
I'm not on the defensive 86 and appreciate your question. I was just looking at them and recall seeing some cars on this board with polished pieces. I forgot the cars, so I looked for the covers online.
To be honest, I just think some polished pieces would look nice. IF no company makes them, it really isn't a big deal.

Re: Strut covers
I know what your talking about and the couple members that have them don't seem to know where they came from, or they were on the car when they bought them. The ones I have seen appear to be chrome plated plastic versions of stock. I would like some since spohn stopped making there whole bearing/plate assembly in polished.
