Want to see a strong brace? See the 350Z!
Man, over the weekend I saw a 350Z at a mall with its hood open, and those guys have a serious strut tower brace! This thing had large [and thick]stamped steel ends with four huge bolts. It also had adjuster nuts on the passenger side of the slightly flattened round bar, which happened to be painted grey. It seems like most if not all of the aftermarket pieces for our cars have pretty light-duty attachments and ends.
Seriously, this Nissan stock bar even puts the Steeda bar with cast ends to shame. Even the strongest bar in the world needs good ends and attachment to really do the job. Unless it's a "just for looks, pseudo-performance part" of course, which many of the aftermarket parts for the Mustang seem to be.
Get the hint vendors?
And this thing was priced right around GT MSRP.
