Never seen these before (tried to search here also) - This came with a graphite I bought while ago and it looks too nice to be home made. It seems like stamped or cut and not machined or drilled. Has anyone seen like before?

Re: Steel front shock tower
Is it steel or aluminum? I had 50 sets made (front and rear) a couple of years ago out of fairly thick aluminum. The one in your picture looks a lot like the ones I had made. There was a company in Dallas and I had these water jet cut. I sold them on Ebay for $25 a set. If you look at my gallery pictures there are several cars pictured that have the ones I had made on them. Regards and I hope this helps.
Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

Re: Steel front shock tower
Good call! But I am pretty sure it's stainless steel. Material is quite thin and feels more like steel.

Re: Steel front shock tower
I measured the thickness and it's only 0.8mm. Material is also ferromagnetic, so something iron based. Probably it's someone's one-off custom part - quite decent looking though. Not sure if I am going to use it either...
