im looking for pix of preferably white engine bays of an st205 or 3rd gen 3s still with the top mount charger cooler on w/ a cusco strut bar along with the oem one. I know cusco made a few strut bars but im looking for pix of the one that has the blue arms and chrome bridge. Further more the engine bay must also have a cooling panel for the st205.

Im asking for this pix because all the pix i have seen for the cooling panels are of cars with no strut bar at all let alone the cusco one.

im not sure if i want to get a cooling panel thats brushed to match more with the turbo heat sheild color or if i want it to be polished to match the polished alluminum birdge on the strut bar.

I dig the strut bar but with my engine bay left stock the strut bar tends to look out of place and im hoping a cooling panel as well as perhaps silicone couples with shiny clamps will help even things out a bit, especially since i plan on keeping the stock airbox.

thanks ive seen that pic and it was the one that made me get it but its got no cooling panel

i think a cooling panel will make that engine bay a little shinier...
it'll match with the shiny strut bar... maybe even powdercoat the heat shield and add a metal intake pipe and you're set.

yeah i want to keep it as stock looking as possible.

how would i go about getting the burshed look on the sturt bar to match that of brushed cooling panel. I have some metal brushes and metal brush wheels. could i jsut do it myself..... lol i think id have to have and alluminum brush right so non of the steel bits get stuck in the alu and rust?.

ive also thought about painting it to get ride of the shinny and make it look as stock as possible.
