Even though my last name is Zarodnansky I'm actually Czech....

I like the painted look better than the polished...

Remove it and put a Dynatech Brace. This way you don't have to worry about hiding it.

The rub marks on the fuel rail cover after you install the other brace....

Harvey, thanks! I clean it up about 1x month, so nothing too major...a little elbow grease and meguiar's hyperdressing dilluted 8:1 is all.

No rub marks or anything like that...I would love to find a dynatech brace!

I didn't mean to hijack the thread earlier, just wanted to answer the earlier post. And hey, you may get lucky some time and get the yellow Porsche Motorsport carbon fiber brace-well, at least lucky after me if I find one.

Cheap shots as usual.

Stephen if you paint the adjuster it would complete the look imo.

Yep it's got pleny of clearance unlike some of those other braces. A very respectable brace...

I have no clearance issues with the design 1...I know some have had issues with the KLA, but when I had the KLA bar I had no issues (on my old black cab). That said...

The dynatech brace is a wonderful piece and I would happily install one over the design 1...the dynatech mounts and bar are a bit more substantial-but since they're nla I guess I have to keep my fingers crossed to find either that one or the Porsche Motorsports brace (or 2, one for Damian and one for me!).

Recently sold my Dynatech. Could not justify the cost (although it was very nice). Nothing more than expensive jewelry.
Besides thought I was moving away from the 968 at the time.

I will be buying another D1 brace soon. IMHO, it is constructed very well, and much better than the KLA

Good luck finding someone who wants to part with a Dynatech....
