Hello everyone, I just wanted to post some pics of UPR Products strut cap kit that I installed. They sent me a note on the product's packing that stated that I bought their first kit. Really found that to be amazing and cool at the same time.
Anyway the satin aluminum kit is a real nice accessory to cover those exposed strut tower nuts. The aluminum pieces fit snuggly over the nuts and add a nice clean finish. I think it gives the engine area a real finished look. Your comments welcome.

I bought them from UPR Products Inc., they cost $99.95. The are made of billet aluminum and are a satin finish. They are an excellent fit and do a very nice job covering those exposed strut towers on our cars. They can be removed for access to the bolts if needed. The web site below will give you all the details. I have purchased several items from these guys and they are really quality oriented. Past products; shorty antenna and the polished A/C *****.

I was very surprised to see that note on the packaging, kinda made me feel special for a moment. They really do add a nice touch under the hood. They look much better in person than in a picture.

:scratch: So you bought some covers to make the nuts look better? Seems a bit overboard. Do they serve any purpose besides aesthetic?

Justin, they serve no other purpose what so ever except to cover the exposed strut bolts, totally aethetic. May not be for everyone but they work for me. Heck since I was the first to buy them, I may be the only one that would want them

You are not the only one who wants them. As soon as I know a date for my car I will be ordering the caps myself, saw them acouple of weeks ago on the site and knew I wanted them.

Hey, I think they look great. Aside from their aesthetic value, they might protect your forearms from getting scraped while you're poking around the engine bay! It was a great idea. I'll certainly consider purchasing them once I get my 'Stang. Thanks for the post!

They look sharp! Nice addition to what I plan to do to my engine compartment. I plan on covering all that plastic and tape wire looming in braided steel line eventually.
