IND saying this on their site

While each OEM steel brace weighs 688g = 1.51678 lbs, each of the Rogue Engineering support braces weigh only 380g=0.837757lbs. The total savings of 1.35 lbs!

Marketing trap!
Technically, the quote from IND would be accurate if replacing the stock F97 braces with the Rogue ones, but inaccurate if replacing the G01 braces.

Looks real nice with the red anodized option (I'm biased), and yet again, no matching bolts...

Bumping this thread, has anyone tried to just spray paint them with a quality paint?

Most guys here just wrap the oem braces with a cf film

VViViD XPO Black Carbon Fiber Car Wrap Vinyl Roll Featuring Air Release Technology (2.75ft x 5ft) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09H7QRHK1..._vAAufifFnHsBL

Something like that of which there are many options

I lived with my wrapped oem pieces for a bit and then bought the Rogue Engineering braces…love them
