Hey folks,
I am looking for one tower mount for a strut tower brace. Here is a picture of what I have and I am one mount short! I will be at Carlisle at least one day this year during Ford and I can get with you there. Let me know and thanks in advance.

So the Outcast grill/headlight kit is "nice"; are the grill tabs good, and the head light mounting pieces all there? What is the paint like-rattle can coat or better? Is the red lighter or darker than Rosso Red?

YMMV ;-)

Grille tabs are good and intact. The custom Outcast aluminum brackets to mount the headlights are included with the headlights. Here's a picture of the actual grille and headlights that are for sale shown mounted on a radiant red 89 XR:

* Please note that at the time of this picture the headlights did not have the proper mounting hardware installed and did not fit quite as well as they do now with the real deal Outcast brackets and hardware.

Any interest in a Sierra parcel shelf? This one is black and I've had it for years just sitting in the garage in it's original plastic wrapper. The material is much blacker in person than in the photo. There is some wear on the corners and a small "bald spot" visible in the photos. This is a solid shelf that does not fold like the XR shelves. $30.

Used carbon fiber Cosworth Hood from this well known car:
$650 complete with louvers
Also the 16" TSW wheels and tires shown $300 - tires have some life left in them, you should be able to ride around all summer on them easily.
