Yup,
It's a Racing Dynamics I had one on my 951. It touches the hood insulation though.

Any 951 brace bars that don't contact the hood?

The KLA bar is a nice piece. It fits tight, but doesn't contact the hood. It does however, contact the hood insulation. Here's one installed on my car. <img src="http://images.cardomain.com/installs/285000-285999/285655_19_full.jpg" alt=" - " />

And another angle

I have a question, do those actually make a diffrence that you can tell, such as a before and after feeling of how the car handles? Just curious.

personally, a turbo cup oem bar would be nice, either that or a custom carbon fibre piece.
