I recently installed the Mopar Strut Tower brace and thought I would post the pictures from cutting the stock caps to fit. It's probably delaying the inevitable purchase of a Billettech set of caps, but it looks better to me for now.

I used a Dremel cutting wheel, a file, and a little sandpaper. Not perfect but good enough for now.

Clean looking engine compartment! Good job

That looks really good! Haven't seen anyone do that before! How about painting them body color?

I've never seen them cut like that either. Unique! If you are looking at getting aftermarket strut tower covers you could also check into the Drake covers.

The Drakes look cool and look like a great deal price-wise...but unfortunately explicitly state that they will not work with the Mopar Strut tower brace.

Thanks for posting this. I am about to get a Mopar strut tower brace and was trying to decide how to cut my caps. The aluminum Mopar ones are a bit pricey.

Nicely done.

Motor on!

I went a different way since I did those. These caps are aluminum storage cups with a Mopar decal and held on with a magnet (rare earth).
