UPR Strut Tower and Nut Covers
I'm pretty sure I've seen a pic of somebody's engine compartment with these things installed. Anybody have them, and what do you think of them?

I really like mine. I'm glad I got them. Makes the underhood area look much cleaner without seeing the rusted threads from the struts! I vote you put them on.

I will get them. I like the way they look on ChrisM's car. The strut tower brace is similar to mine. I have the one from Strange. I was going to get the covers from Midwest Autogear, but from what other guys have seen, they are too thick.

ChrisM - those do look nice....I was waiting for the MAG covers - what's that about them being too thick? Do they rub the hood liner
...and I thought they wouldn't be out until after the 1st of the new year?

Mongoose, the small nut covers come together with the two big covers as a kit. It is located on page 2 of the "Underhood Cap Covers". I had to search for them too.
About the big center caps fitting over other struts, there is a recess in the inside center of the caps that can be hogged out with a Dremel if you need more clearance. The caps are very thick, so you're not going to tear through them.
Just put mine on today.

I found some Chrome Acorn nuts at my local ACE Hardware store. They work great and only were $1.50 ea. I'm now working on how to cover the center nut. Got this weekend off so............

Nope no covers for me. I made my own Struct bar and didn't think they would fit. Glad now I didn't get them with all the problems araising with them.
Yes I do think they were M10 threads. I that some pictures tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be sunny and 45 so I might install my new Pro 5.0 shifter too.
