A customer contacted me recently and asked me to build him an Export Brace for his car. Its a show car that will be entering Run Thru the Hills IV, SEMA and the Optima Street Car Challenge Invitatinional.
These are the first parts fresh of the mill. They are billet 6061-T6 aluminum:
Complete kit with gloss black powder coated brackets and stainless steel button and socket head cap screws:
Firewall billet bracket:
With our matching Monte Bar:
I only planned on making him the one for his car but I've had a pretty good response to it. In todays economy the last thing I want to do is run a production run on a pile of parts nobody buys. I think its cool but do you?
If I can get 8-10 orders (actual commitments with money taken) I'll do a small run and sell them for $199 plus shipping. Let me know if interested - shaun@streetortrack.com
I would like it better without the powder coating.

Actually can you get it powdercoated clear instead of black? Or would that be an extra charge?
Zip is 98205

Mark,
Powder coating is like most production things, the more you do the same the cheaper it gets. I had a lot of folks prefer black so that will be the main production color.
I can ship them out plain for anybody that wants to powder, polish or anodize them to match their own color scheme. The price is the same because the less I do black, my individual part price increases so it doesn't really save me any money not getting them coated.
UPS is $17.49. You can send Paypal to contact@streetortrack.com. If you don't use Paypal, PM me your # and I'll call to run your card over the phone.
Shaun that looks fantastic. Too bad I already have a TCP version or I'd buy those for sure...
My piece that bolts to the firewall will replace the basic TCP angle aluminum bracket. The ball width and holes size they use will slip right into our bracket.
Our plain bracket alone to dress up the TCP unit, complete with all the mounting hardware to attach it to the firewall can be had for $72.
I'd be interested, but I'd prefer the whole thing clear powder coat as well.
Most folks wanted black so that is the color of choice. I will keep some plain ones back that won't be sent out for powder so you guys can finish these however you like.
If I start finishing 3 black, 5 clear, 1 polished, 6 orange the price will go way, way up and the time I spend with my wife and kids will go way, way down!
Remember, I'll start building them once 8-10 orders have been taken and paid for. If you want one, please let me know.
Material and time is expensive and I just can't afford to start this project if some haven't already been sold.
