We manufacture the tower braces with a hard anodized red coating...

...although it is always possible to do other colors in limited runs. Doing a limited run would require a quantity prepaid order on the other hand

Perhaps if enough FitFreak members were interested, a Special FitFreak edition could be produced. In the past, the tower braces were a simple polished aluminum finish.

wow, the bars look great! how bout carbon fiber like the cusco bars? hehe....I'd definitely buy them if they where carbon fiber re-inforced or just for relish. but either way, I'm gonna get some when my freakin fit comes in lol

what about under body braces? or a roll cage? also...is there also gonna be a 3 point set up for the rear bars?
Just wondering hehe

It has been confirmed. It'll be $98/each for the strut bars. Off course, there's always special pricing for FFmembers. I'll keep you guys posted when they are released.
