I received my M7 strut bar yesterday but am unable to put it on until I get the use of a torque wrench. So I was sitting around bored, strut brace itching to be messed with and some left over vinyl from my stripes. Throw those three things together and this is what you get. I sat it in position for show.

The vinyl may not last long but like I said. I was bored.

 

Nice touch. I like subtle things like that.

Looks great!

 

Nice touch, if you're still bored tape off what isn't covered by the vynl, remove the vynl and paint in a matching high temp engine paint. That looks so sweet!

 

I didn't even think of that. I'll do it. Thanks.

 

wat?! just use a small 3/8 drive wrachet and tighten it snug.
25-30lbs.

 

That looks awesome SB.

 

looks awesome, I never would have thought of that

 

That is both kinda sad, and really friggin cool at the same time

So, you gonna paint matching black stripes down across the IC cover?

 

^^ ^^

I'm thinking that the torque is only 21 ft-lbs for the carriage plate bolts, but I'm working from memory. Hit with the ratchet and then when the T-wrench arrives check them, heck back them off and then retorque them - but don't wait - slap that thing on!!

Looks good

Great idea too, motor

 

^^ yeh, just don't crank it with a 3/8 drive long handle and you're okay.

 

Looks great!
What brand is that green filter?

Looks sweet!!

Usually the green filter comes with the Pilo CAI kit.

 

isn't that the brand name? "Green Filter" ? and Pilo uses it on their intake.

 

 

Guess it won't go on my Alta CAI, sigh. I love my Alta CAI, but hate the red filter, I really wanted green, waaaaah.
Your strut graphics rock, regardless.

I think that looks SWEEEEET

 

Looking Very Cool Now Torque Wrench,Smorqye Wrench put the bloody thing on all ready.

 

That's pretty slick! I never would've thought of doing that, but it looks great. How'd you get the M7 logo on the vinyl? Did you cut it in or is it a vinyl sticker?

 

The M7 logo is pressed (or machined?) into the bar already. I'm willing to bet SB simply used a razor to cut away the vinyl covering it
