Painting my strut tower braces - help me pick a color

[jchadwell]

Between black, red, and yellow. I think it will be hard to match the yellow. Probably leaning toward red. I thought red might look too Ronald McDonald but it surprisingly doesn't seem to. What do you all think?

Black. It looks more integrated in the engine bay. Especially since the OEM bars don't look as special as some of the aftermarket offerings.

Actually I like the red since there is red on the engine cover . (And I am not a red fan)

How about taking it off and having a cleaner engine bay? Lol The strut braces are kinda in the way and look tacky as hell. Sorry. IMO.

I don't think you can go wrong with either color. All 3 colors are better than the stock silver finish. My first choice might be red for a more pop. The black makes less of a statement. It blends-in which is not a bad thing since the original bars are not as sculptured like some of the after market bars.

The braces would look better painted but still very cheap looking. Get the billet ones.

Black looks best. Mine is a 2020 and have the black anodized BMS braces.

Ended up with black. I decided I wanted a more blended in look since they are very generic-looking (cheap) bars. I went back and forth between black and red but ultimately thought red would call more attention to the basicness of them. I like the look and can't beat 6$ for a can of paint.

It looks good. It looks finished now. Maybe pimp it out with a narrow red pin stripe that matches the red stripes on the engine cover? lol. Place the red stripe on the insides of the bars facing the engine so it's subtle.
