A friend and I decided to design and fabricate our own braces in our small shop.This is the prototype..we plan to mass produce these for 88-00 civic/crx & 90-01 integra's.The finished item will be painted buy a pal who owns a paint&body shop in a booth any color choice.
We are currently taking limited orders.P/m me if interested.

paint will get torn up down there, they would need to be powdercoated if anything at all. Also, I honestly wouldn't pay more than $25 for that since anyone with access to some metal and a welder can make that easily. Great idea though. _________________ EFSS #184

Takes more than paint and a welder homie.trust me..but powdercoating it is better but right now paint/clear is plenty. |

yup, I know, I'm in the process of designing my front crossmember... If I didn't already have a Neuspeed rear tie bar, maybe I'd make myself one of these. Naw, I'd get the Beaks rear lower bar cuz that shit is blingtastic!  _________________ EFSS #184

BEAKS =
But since alot of folks where we are located are ricers/honda molesters we figured we would take the metal we had put up and design a simple item that works and have them painted and sale them to everyone around here so far so good. haha i mean after paint these will look pretty nice even though they may chip in a week from a daily driven car.o well buyers im sure are aware.
But I plan to have my own copper plated. along w/my wheels.should look dope!. |
