whoa, now that is pretty neat. is it more effective that the standard 2 point braces? or is it most effective at looking cool?

nice bar!!! i believe there will be minimal advantages to running a bar like this. the radiator support is not very sturdy, and doesn't realyy affect the unibody's rigidity. that is why 3 point fstb's usually connect to the firewall.

its mostly for looks. and i know the bars that go to the front really have no affect. considering the placement of our strut towers and that the firewall is pretty much blocked off/cluttered with factory items, having the bars go forward was my only option.

i pretty much made it for the "oh sh*t" factor :rofl:

Don't know why, but I think if you took some bar steel, and created a "web" design on the front one (like Orange County Chopper spider bike) it would look cool. Maybe I was up too late, and up too early, but it was just a thought.

Does the rear strut tower brace add any real benefit?

i'd route teh frontward facing bars to the mounting points below the rad support. look you'll know what i mean the points behind teh grill
