I'd volunteer my services, but not sure when I'm going to have a free weekend over the next few weeks. Need to let the work situation even out a bit.

But just to throw in my 2 cents, you should pick up some colour matched spray paint, and paint the brackets that hold the strut to the car. (even as far as maybe masking and then painting it while on the car to colour the rivets.) ... it would go a long way of making the bracket appear as though it belongs on the car, and not just something you tacked on...
