Please count me in for FSTB - I think there are at least 5 interested buyers of that piece according to the last couple months of this thread. Thanks for the great service!

I build these braces as fill in work to keep from laying off any of my employees.
Not that I think needs to be yelled (ahem), but this is as good a reason as any to go with Corky's stuff vs. knock off foreign-made Ebay crap.

Corky, do you have a "slow season" that we could maybe time these group buys with? And do you have room for customization of any of the parts? Such as...two more pieces of stock for extra triangulation on the RSTB? And will you do any colors other than black?

I kinda wigged out - eh?

Slow season - Well I could normally count on the silly season starting at Halloween thru the 1st of the year as being slow, and with another slow period in August. But recently it seems that the slow periods are getting shorter every year.

I can and have in the past modified the OEM rear strut brace by adding gussets in the corners as a starter,

and going all the way with a piece of tubing going across the rear to enclose the triangulation.

It ends up looking like this.

I can offer colors but it can get pretty expensive to have one or two pieces done at a time in a different color.
And it becomes a problem for me dealing with colors that don't match perfectly etc, etc, etc -- guess I'm just getting cranky in my old age.

Put me on the list for an FSTB.

Awesome price, its about $100 cheaper than a new TRD brace. Wish you made it so that you could keep the frunk lid on.
If I made the FSTB to keep the lid it would cost $100.00 more. -_- (sorry - couldn't resist)

For those on the fence on the FSTB, i bought one a couple of years ago, and I did a couple of quick runs to see if i noticed the difference is semi-reasonable speeds. The body roll in the front is something i had never noticed until the moment it was lessened and wow, worth every penny. The perk to the no plastics up front is your personal ice chest is easier to access. +1

Amen. I still haven't used my frunk as a cooler, but was present to witness Lurkish using his as such. :p

Is is it possible to leave the large plastic cover installed (removing the plastic right above the struts) but just remove the hinged storage cover? I want the frunk to look as clean and stock as possible.
