$57 shipped with insurance gets you a billet 6061-T6 brace that's hand made in San Diego. Also comes with two of the longer M8 grade 12.9 socket head cap screws

Thanks for offering these, makes me wish my car didn't already have one.

$51.82 from Sunset Porsche.
I didn't know they were available again, nor that they went down in cost.
I hand make these on a small mill... If I dropped the price it wouldn't be fair to those who already bought them and I would barely be making money.
The good thing is people have a choice now. Sunset are great people so if you want your car OEM the Sunset prices are very tough to beat, but if you want something just a little bit better at about the same price mine are still available as well.

I think the price from those guys is $65 before shipping but includes bolts... but everyone seems to be backordered right now...

Please see Peter's description-he includes the bolts too. He's not backordered either....

Understood... I was trying to show appropriate comparison as well...

I have a Peter brace with bolts on the way for $57 shipped!

I only listed the discounted Sunset price because an earlier post had it listed at a lot more. I got quoted this past week and according to them, it is not backordered...but things can change.

65.98 +shipping from sunset. 3-5 week wait as the part is not in stock. anyone looking for one of these, just order from peter. save yourself time and money. got mine in a matter of days and it fit perfectly with the included bolts.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
I sold my last brace today but will be making more this weekend.
Thanks again, I am glad everyone who bought one is happy with the quality.

They are back ordered via Porsche
Perhaps "things changed"

You can still get a price quote and an "estimated eta" from them

That doesn't mean a lot, unfortunately

I was quoted about $80 dollars from Sunset a few months ago,it was on backorder and took 2 months to get and I was invoiced about $45 for it no bolts were included) , If I had to do it over I would have bought the one made by chaoscreature..seems better than the porsche one

Thanks to this thread, finally installed the brace I'd gotten from Peter a few months ago. It's freaking hot here, so had to turn on the A/C unit in the garage!
