This plus more. It looks as though the brace is attached to the struts rather than the strut towers thus not providing any rgidity to the strut towers. Movement from one strut will affect the opposing strut. The rods going forward are mounted on heim joints with no or very little triangulation rendering them inaffective. In the event of a front end collision that is not severe enough to cause extensive damage could result in strut damage. But it still looks cool . LOL
