I added one to my SS... can't say that I really have felt the difference... maybe its more psychosomantics.

But dayum it looks good.

I put in a larger brace and yes I can tell.
When taking a turn fast the car feels much more
stiff/solid. In general the steering, handling, and
general feeling of the car is better. No question
that the car feels different.

W3rd!

Although if you really want it to stand out, sand it, primer and paint.

I have a BMR bar and can't tell the difference. I'm content with just the look of it

We are glad you guys are happy with your BMR strut tower braces. Not only do we feel that it is a good way to help brace the chassis but it is also a good way to dress up the engine bay and add some personal flare to your vehicle.
