None of those colors would clash with a white car and all would look fine.

Oh, and this being a technical section of the forum vs. an appearance section, you are probably going to get some smart *** answers. The brace will perform the same regardless of color lol

We don't need to humor questions like this. Really. Posts like this need to go inthe Appearance forums where they belong.

Actually now that I think of it, being black it will heat up quicker vs the machined and gold versions since they reflect heat. The black one will probably flex more due to the temperature increases. I'd go with the gold one because it's more JDM though.

Make one out of balsa wood that would look the best and be the lightest.

Yeah because $80 is a real deal breaker when you're spending thousands on building your car anyway.

Price wasn't an option for me. ASR had theirs out before F7. There wasn't any other option at the time.

There's nothing wrong with ASR. Function7 just offers more value. If you need a brace with integral sway bar mounts, lighter/stronger construction with a better design, Function7 is the way to go. It also uses ultra high quality stainless Allen bolts. I'd be comfortable with either, however I expected to have a long career in experimenting with sway bars so I got the best one for that purpose.
