G35 Front Strut Tower brace
#227
#228
saw your note about the rear STB (have the front coming soon - I hope!). If you can make yours higher or lower than the stillen, that would be great (so it doesn't cut the trunk space unnecessarily). Never understood why Stillen didn't make the bar dip down or up out of the way... (cost?)

Seriously, that is for looks only. I would not waste time or effort redesigning a fully functional part for the sake of that engine cover.
Now you might want to design and sell a well-ventilated engine cover for the VQ that fits your brace but does not retain heat and has a cool infiniti and/or VRT logo. I'd go for that! I gotta admit that the stock manifold isn't the prettiest to look at.

Still loveing this strut tower brace. This thing works as good, if not better than any other suspension mod I have done.
Interesting thread on Scott and a great review for the brace....................
