Jason, if it rains or shines I can be there but I do prefer sunshine. I can undertsand you not wanting to drive on semi-slicks.
I am very curious to see your car and run against it.

All,
Just to clear up a few issues, we are in the process of getting a prototype carbon fiber bar made for the 993 and 968 strut tower brace, We are only at the quotation stage right now and still have not been told the price by our vendor, He want us to see it before he quotes the price "i guess to reduce sticker shock" we will only go with the carbon bar if it makes economical sence to offer a carbon bar instead of our already beautiful alluminium bar, personally i love carbon and would love too have it avalible for you guys and the 993 guys but we just dont know the cost at this time, and as i am aslo customer i do know how important the cost is for you guys that are building a car on a buget. so if we can offer it cheap enough we will, if its way out of the ball park we wont, but in saying that if someone wants one and is willing to pay for it we will be happy to make a custom one, as i have said from the start we are in this so we can develop parts for our cars and then make them avalible for you guys, we dont build cheap stuff and dont want to.
Our web site is just a few days away now i will let you all know when its done,
Just wait until you see our tubular front sway bar

Thanks Scott. I've had the Cargraphic brace (dented my hood, although they did make it up to me), KLA now, (yours looks more substantial), and maybe yours coming up. Cargraphic required vanity cover removal, KLA doesn't, your first did, new one doesn't.
This is the one part of the car I can install myself, I've got a big stash of Snap On tools-it kills Raj when he sees me using them! (got a great deal once . . .)

Damian, no need to rub it in. The tools look as new as day one as they never get used 
. Hopefully Santa will bring me some soon, lol.
I can't wait to get these puppies in CF. That would be one kool looking strut tower brace and very sturdy as well. Nice job Scott!!!
Don't worry, there are still enough of us out there that can see why something costs more

Scott,
My car is an 8-valve turbo conversion.
I'm more interested in the aluminum version. Maybe Richard and I will buy them at the same time and you can send them to the same place...since we use the same mechanic.
On another note, it looks like rain for Saturday, and my inclination is not to chance it with my car. I don't have street tires, and it would be a handful to drive on wet roads with my track tires.
But the real truth is I'm just too scared to run against Raj...at least on the streets!!
C'mon out to the track, Raj, where it's safer!
