Strut brace search complete

I finished my install and everything went swimmingly. The new strut braces fit fine without having to replace the studs.
I followed 2Many Car's advice and first adjusted the bar to snugness and then cranked down on the stud nuts.
I tightened the lug nuts in stages, up to the specified torque specs, using a pattern from outside in and alternating sides.
Strut bar clears perfectly and fits fine under the trunk mat, as noted by others previously.
Overall impression is that this is a great product -- it probably does about as much as any other strut bar, but on the margin, everything exudes quality, from the finish to the fitment.
Thanks, RL'ers for both the advice on getting this strut brace and on the install!

Can anyone please post a pic of this bar fitted with the carpet back in place.
I'm interested as it's the most sturdy and discrete design I've seen and I don't want to be cutting up the carpet to install.

No problem -- would take a set of pics but the 993's back in my other parking spots on the other side of the city. If I get a chance to get down there this week, will snap a few off...

I managed to arrange shipping myself for around $60 with insurance so have pulled the trigger. Look forward to receiving the brace. There seems to be nothing similar available in the UK so it'll be quite unique
