R1 Strut Tower Bar (very small problem)?
Well i need help with a very minor detail i want to fix. As you can see in the pics my R1 Strut Tower Bar has some scratches. The Strut bar is fine it does its job but i want to get it looking brand new again. Does anyone have any tips or info on how to make it look new again and get rid of imperfections? It may be simple but i want to ask to make sure i go about this in the proper way to avoid making it look like ****.
Thanks....

I repainted mine. First drill out the "pop-rivits" that hold the "RX-7" badge. Then sand, degrease, and paint. When the paint dries re-pop-rivit the badge back on.
BTW, I did mine in CYM. I don't think red looks nice next to yellow.

i think having it powdercoated will be way better beause its cooked on the metal at 450 or something degrees. that means, it can withstand that much heat!!! also, i had a peice of the engine powercoated and it only cost me $20 with sandblasting it first!!!!
i would go that route unless you want it polished....
