I just ordered the "Strut Tower Brace decal" from Brent Franker. Yeah the choice between the BMR or Hotchkis was difficult for me too, almost ordered them both just to see how they both looked on the car.
I also did the same thing to my V6:
BTW I also have a '79 TA, it isn't in my sig because I drove it into the ground in high school and it's been sitting in my dad's barn ever since
