Have you posted the review somewhere? :thumbsup:

Didn't have a pic of my ///M so I used an old one of my '04 2.5. Had to sell this Strong Strut and buy new because it wouldn't fit over the larger engine.

^That, I like, being more low-key myself. Did you buy it with that finish or was it something you had done?
