Like rocket said most ppl put a piece of thin angle iron on the cowl, welded or bolted. I put mine underneath the lip/flange & it doesn't show. but you'll need to get all of the old braces off to put it under the lip. I used some angle I had laying around,drilled out the spotwelds of the old braces from the lip & welded on the angle piece thru those holes. but you could bolt on that too if you wanted.
If the stripe bothers you ,it could be painted to stand out less ,black or blue would not jump out at you so much. or Plasti dip it, then it could be changed easier.
Well I got my export brace today and it looks like a very simple install....once you grind off the old brace.....I also tried that idea of using rust o leum peel paint spray over the white stripe. While I do like the look MUCH better then the white stripe, Im not crazy about the paint. It was very hard to try and get an even coat and it just looks a little funny.....looks good in the pic so you can get an idea of the contrast from white to blue...but Im gonna peel it off and re spray.....
Also..I posted elsewhere in here about a great deal I got on a pair of air Shocks for the rear. Well I go to install the new shocks and crawl under the car and low and behold.....It already has a new pair of air shocks installed!.....
So I put a little air in em and got the car level and it looks much better with that stance.....
and it is easy
