That's a question to a post that was complimenting my engine bay, so I'm guessing you're asking me that question. 
It's just a standard GT-Spec front strut tower brace. However, I did polish the clear-coat off it, and I polished out the "GT-Spec" logo from the middle of the bar. The brackets were stripped and then powder-coated in gloss black, with a metallic clear-coat. And the hardware is polished titanium, from some Amazon seller, IIRC.

That is the very first time I've seen someone establish a color scheme based on the dipstick handle. That's fascinating.

15mm one-piece wheel spacer adapters from B2 AutoDesign... next to a really fat cat on my dining room table.
For winter, for my duckfeet.

[edit] Six-sided 11/16 socket. Got one. Thanks for looking out, B.
[edit2] No, that's a 17mm nut.

I was thinking that, too. Certainly the threads are, right?
But as for the lug nut itself, a 17mm socket is too big, and a 16mm socket is too small, so...
Either way, I PM'd Chris@b2auto for answers.
...which is odd, because my 17mm socket was too big. No wait, turns out it's just worn. I bought a 17mm 6-sided deep-socket, just for this purpose.
All good now.
