Strut Tower Bar Installed...

I got this strut brace from SL Customs (Thanks Kyle), it looks great.

I had the ends painted summit white and the center polished. Huge improvement in the engine bay!

I was nice to be able to do some work on my car after a long hibernation...

Here's some pics, though I don't think they do it justice...

Seen a whole thread on that, it got a little . I figure that it came on my car for a reason and I think it would make a difference!

A good strut brace stiffens the front end considerably. If you drive sporty, it's worth it
