3D Printed Strut Mount Dust Covers

Currently printing in ABS replacements for the Strut Mount Dust Caps on our cars. If anyone is interested, feel free to message me. I'll be at $18/pair shipped. Just finished the design and test, so currently printing to build out stock - anything anyone wants will be printed-to-order, so please give me about a business day to have it done. I will also be printing to the spec of your strut mount - please let me know the Inside Diameter. I've tested out on Factory (~70mm) and KYB (~67mm), but I can easily edit the model and print to fit just about any diameter. Alternate colors are available, as well - I'll throw up photos in the other colors as the prints complete (will be blue, red/orange, white, gray, black).

EDIT: added photos of the different color options, a better installed photo.

Re: 3D Printed Strut Mount Dust Covers

This is a great idea, I have the KYB mounts and I really prefer the cleaner look with the covers. PM sent

That looks great is there anyway you could do up some strut boot covers?

@Reddragon88gta Thank you!
@Kfactor239 I've got the design done for the boot covers:

The issue, however, is that metal washer. I can't find an exact match anywhere that I can just buy and use, so it will have to be punched/machined, and that's proving difficult to source at a low volume. I could do it in plastic, but I don't think it would hold up to the stresses.

@Kfactor239 Got washers in finally. Printing has been a success thus far. Should have these up for sale in their own post later this week:
