Gary Gilpin recently received the first ever polished x-brace from Mark Digrappa. Gary was kind enough to let me keep it over the weekend so I could take these pictures. It's truly a work of art -- too bad it has to go under the car.

The surface is like a mirror:



The tips are extraordinaire:





Gary wanted this polished to match the RM bits in his engine bay. No RM piece ever was polished like this Mark hand polished it himself.

Holy Guacamoli!!!!!

This piece of art (thank you Mark) will be installed Wednesday. With something this sweet (under the car), I must consider graduating my "S" to trailer queen status

I was looking under a S2000 on axle stands on Sunday. This car is immculate, but the X-Brace still really stands out. Don't worry about having this beauty under the car - it certainly put a grin on my face seeing it there!

(This wasn't my S2000.)

Thanks
This finish is available as an upgrade, along with the others, for those who are interested.

Now if I ever could finish this stinking STB, that would be SWEET in polished!

I stopped by Mark's the other day and the X-brace was sitting on his perpetually immobile car. The grimy finger prints on the X-brace are mine. It was so beautiful, I almost licked it.

NICK...... It's a X-brace, not a Y-brace. Couldn't resist.
