Not the most asthetically pleasing piece, but looks to be functional. Seems like a very good price.

Congrats on the new business venture. Who are your partners?

Well, we could make it better looking for about $200 more. But we were shooting for the price point. Functionally, I think we better by not having any slotted fittings. My partners are two local friends of mine.

Thanks.....

out of ignorance: how do you install that? is it a case of simply taking off those things on top of the strut towers, and then putting the strut brace on underneath of em?

Will you have a 968 application? These are almost impossible to get for our cars, they don't fit because of the "Porsche" cover or they have hood clearance issues. Here is one that does fit though but is not available. <a href="http://63.136.85.109/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=2&ARCHIVEVIEW=&TOPIC_ID=2402" target="_blank">http://63.136.85.109/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=2&ARCHIVEVIEW=&TOPIC_ID=2402</a>

Basically, yes. Un-do the 4 nuts, put in the bracket, re-do the 4 nuts. Bolt up the bar.

Not about to order one, but was thinking of building a lot of custom parts for the 'soon to be mine' 924S, hoping that my recently acquired engineering skills would help me out.

As for the part, I have always been in favor of the idea that form follows function... Nice work, and I hope that you succeed in your venture! <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" />

Very nice piece at an excellent price. Congratulations and good luck with your venture. I'd order one myself but I'm going to be installing caster/camber plates (probably custom-made weld on) that won't work with this. Nice product though.

Slevy looks great! I don't care about looks with something like that. (BTW I think it looks perfectly fine, no offense txhedg).

I'm making a list of things I'm going to ask santa for Christmas, and thanks to your price, this is one of them. My sister is always asking "what do you want for your birthday/christmas?"

Gotta love 'em.
