I'm considering painting my Ecosse strut tower brace to bring the underhood look together more (just the carbon part, the billet parts will stay in their natural color)

I'm leaning towards Torch Red, but wanted to get other opinions

voted black since most everything else is- I think that would tie it together the most

Why paint it--the look of carbon weave is o-o-o so pretty! As long as it isn't a big rice-a-roni carbon wing or other carbon fiber rice application, it can make for some nice accents. (I'm biased and I have plenty of carbon chee-chee bicycles, though)

Was this off Ebay? I was watching one that looked just like this one. Very nice piece if it holds up.

Yeah, picked it up from Ecosse on Ebay. It is one of the few items I've bought where I pulled it out of the box and it was way nicer than expected (If it's possible to be a junkie for nice machining work, that'd be me
