Man, that's deceiving! The magic of metallics and sunlight.

 

looks nice, plastic bumper cover always look different. looks like its already lowered.

 

Whats the point of the strut tower brace?

 

Help tie the front shocks together to improve handling and responsiveness of the car. Takes a whole 20 minutes to install it.

 

I put a strut tower brace on mine. Did not really notice any difference. Don't know if I was supposed to notice any difference.....it looks cool though.

 

they look like they're just aluminum tubes. why so expensive?

 

Mostly paying for the name. I got one off ebay for $50. Which is still ridiculously expensive for a piece of metal tubing with some plates welded on the end. But I was not about to pay hundreds to get a hotchkins or other brand name. I'm not racing professionally. Thats just me though.

 

could you show me a picture of yours?

 

Most are made either with thick DOM tubing or chromoly steel, so that's why the price is up there. Founders makes good one's for around $50. Honestly, IMO I'd get sub frame connectors before I bought a shock tower brace.

 

This is the one I got. It is a Founders but a red one.
