    Strut tower covers

    Thanks to rikdee for the info in this thread....

    http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...ot-Marcus-quot

    I received my set in the mail yesterday. Looks a whole lot better than the unfinished look of not having any type of cover over the bolts and strut bearings.





    He mentioned a price of $15 a set but that was actually $15 each. I paid a little less at $13.11 a piece. Maybe a little expensive for what you're getting but WTH. It's a nice alternative for those of us without a strutbar.

    I also got one of these but haven't done the install yet. Might get around to it today though since we're having a heat wave......it's a balmy 27F at 8 am!

    So....how do they secure to the top of the strut tower? Do they just "snap" in?

    Looks good.

    Yup, they just have a snug fit over the bolt heads. They have a different shape on two of the bolt cover part of them compared to the other one but I have no idea what for, unless it's for something on a different model maybe. Plus they say "BMW Motorsport" on them, good for AT LEAST 10 more HP.

    Those small slots were electrical cable guides for underhood parts (speed control IIRC).

    Excellent! I have been kicking around the idea of a strut brace for a sharp engine bay, but I may go this route instead. Pics either way.

    Idk....I think the added strut tower protection is worth gettin full blown strut bar...imho.

    Those do look pretty good and would provide some foreign material exclusion regarding the bearings though.

    I use the OEM M3 strut bar to dress those up.
