how difficult is it to remove the G's engine cover? Is it just a matter of unscrewing the four or five screws visible on top?

Does the strut tower brace you've designed work on BOTH the G coupe and the sedan?

That's correct. My cover has been in the attic since day 1.

Yes, as amg35 said, you just have to unscrew the bolts and thats it. It comes right off.

I am pretty sure it will fit on both, but I am in the process of finding out for sure. Will know soon.

if for some reason it does not fit the sedan - would you be willing to design an stb for us family-oriented-guys-in-disguise?

also - is a rear stb possible on the sedan?

attached pics of my max's stb's (which I still love to drive) front and rear for inspiration if you need it

You could send me pics of different angels and I will try to determine if I can make this fit.

To order this brace please contact me at wa2good@hotmail.com

Thanks.

Has anyone confirmed if it will fit with a Crawford Plenum yet? If so, I'm in.
