All of these group buys coming up at one time is going to make me go broke, especially since I don't have extra money to be throwing around right now. Hopefully I can sell my truck soon.

There will be plates on the ends... They are curved and will fit onto the strut towers, that way you dont need to worry about drilling or anything.

That is up in the air right now. If we end up using the aluminum, it will not be painted because the aluminum looks good... kind of like chrome. But if we end up using steel, which I doubt we will, they will be painted black. OR, you can invest 5 bucks into a can of spray paint.

Once we have 10 people that are serious about this, we will be making a steel and aluminum prototype.
