Have you told your insurance company about the strut brace as most see them as a "performance modification" ?

Perhaps the top mount covers may be destined to be a new item in Rick's shop ?

Honestly the insurance police need to calm it down a bit.....


I'm sure Rick will have either informed his insurance or in the unlikely event that he claims on the insurance to fix said car, im positive he'll have the common sense to remove it.

Wow, now that is a very clean engine bay. Am I right in thinking that those top strut covers are in fact upturned stainless steel dog bowls?
