My car is an '06 V6 Premium convert. Nothing special, a former fleet car, pretty much stock. However, I've noticed these two curved bars (curved shallowly downward) underneath the rear end and under the gas tank, running from each corner of the rear, diagonally and meeting just forward of the gas tank. They're only noticeable from about a 3/4 view from the rear and are about 2 1/2-3 inches wide and about 3 1/2 to 4 ft. in length. What are these? Some type of structural reinforcement for the convert. stang? I don't think they were an add-on 'cause this was a former rental car from Hawaii that was retired and sold to me by a Ford dealer. Anyone know what these bars are for? I have not noticed them on any other '05 and up stangs, but the ones I've not seen them on have all been coupes.

Yes, the x brace is there because you have no roof.

It's your Sienar Fleet Systems structural integrity field stabilizer, perfect for high speed runs between asteroids and kessel spice mines.

Simply put tommyroc has the right answer.

Should have got the unit from Corellian Engineering Corporation...

In the wise words of Solo: "Corellian engineering. A CEC ship will keep going until it hits something."

Ah yes but everyone knows the Xwing was originally supposed to be an Imperial design that got turned over when Incom-subpro defected.
