kitch79 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've been looking for a TRD strut brace for a while, I've found a few at decent prices, but all seem to be a gun metal grey colour... So my question is, you guys with chrome shiny ones, did you have them chromed after purchase or are they an even rarer piece if kit. Whifbitz sell a Matt looking silver one, but it's mighty expensive. Cheers, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Yes mate...buy the grey one and have it sent to be polished and chromed. The matte one you speak of will no doubt be a titanium version buddy. Edited March 1, 2014 by Westy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks westy. Titanium! Doesn't say what it's made of actually, they did sell a titanium TRD 'style' one after a google, but no longer it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The titanium version was not made by TRD mate...another company - Mint Speed - created them using the same design. MVP sell them: http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=209&SearchYN=N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 $850... Lol. Grey it is then Yeh I know, I think whifbitz made them too in 2012, or looks like it. That's what Google seemed to show earlier. The one they sell now is £280 ish in a light grey/silver. That's the one I was referring to re not mentioning it's manufactured steel type. Cheers.

Westy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Needs chromed IMO to look the part though! I've been toying with the idea of having one chromed and gold plated for my 1A1 but I fear I may lose consciousness at the cost:faint:!lol!
