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?

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.
