Is it bad if my strut tower brace just touches the silver tube coming out of this box? I notice that the Shelby GT's have a black plastic tube of some sort on the silver tube. Can I get that tube also? Has anyone else noticed this also? Do I need to worry about it? Sorry I dont know what that box and tubes are called...I am kind of an auto idiot.
