Nismo style engine brace
 
I have had allot of you guys inquire about my mod I did on my engine brace
I wanted to get a Nismo engine brace but the cost was to high so I got some steel and cut the pieces to fit then measured and welded it in,metal finished it then brought it to Mike the Powder Coated for a Satin gray make over.

The only thing that was a pain was 1 piece of steel looked too thin so I cut a second piece and welded those together finished the sides(took more time)the only thing I don't like is the Nismo bars are a little wider but for the cost of free:tup:I'm not complaining.

Do you think this actaully makes a difference? Your work looks awesome and im not knocking that at all! But how effective do you think it really is?

Looks really nice! Great finish! Although it seems like a lot of work for something you really wouldn't notice.
