seeing the video with masking tape criss crossed across an e-body engine bay without, and then with with the brace was enough to convince me that they're effective. i'm going to make my own. if my work isnt too hackey looking i'll post pics. i'm going to have the tubing bent so it follows the contour of the lower brace on c-line, then trim some of the existing brace tin back towards the front and then weld it all together, hopefully leaving enough room for stock size radiator and not intruding into the engine bay. i'm hoping it won't be so obvious visual from the front of the car.
