I searched too after seeing a few with different colors.
I have seen some with the titaniumlook but I figured they were custom made some how.
I know someone whos a welder they said depending on the metal he could make me one.
I recommend you get friendly with your local welder
Just start off with the strut bar, then next thing you know hey its exhaust time.

Forge used to make one, but it didn't sell well so it didn't last long. To be honest the Strut Brace (not tie-bar) on the TT is more than enough to stiffen up the strut towers. I took mine off and painted it with several coats of paint followed by a couple coats of clear. The other option is to have it powder coated.

I'd put my money elsewhere, the TT has both a strut tower brace, and a lower tie-bar already. We were thinking of making a strut tower brace for the TT, but being as the stock one is adequate, didnt.

So far, a pedal set is near completion, and we've got started on tow hooks. I'm gonna start looking into a way to hinge the throttle from the floor if I can, so the TT can take full advantage of the fully adjustable throttle pedal Rennline make for some of the P' cars.

Anything else I should work on?
