No need to call them and throw a fit over the phone......it's just paint on a strut tower brace.Unless you have a show car......do you?

I'll check mine when I get home, it's sitting in the garage.

I think its a BMR though, so it may not mean ****.

Maybe they'll send you some touch-up paint.

Was a washer used under the nut? I can see the powdercoat coming off if no washer is there to keep the pressure of torquing the nut down. I have BMR and use washers, haven't had the powdercoat come apart. But perhaps slp didn't do a good job of powdercoating.

because SLP is for fegs... only girl f-bodys were SLP cars....



im just jealous because mine wasnt one of them.

IMHO.. the only STB i would get is the Hotchkis setup. So much sexier...

i;m deff not into glitts and glamour when it comes to my performance parts, i actually prefer the look of stock the most, and any discreet performance stuff is perfect for me,

also im just trying to restore my slp car back to its original form, the stb was the last thing the doofis removed before i bought the car

It was just a really small cracking of the paint....nothing big really.
