VIP strut brace just came in today. I know, I know, my engine bay is gross. Hopefully I'll have time to clean it all up this weekend.

Thanks,

Really? Wow they're not that way on the site. I was going to buy one from them but now I'm ordering a M7 strut tower brace.

Yeah it's not like that in the picture but the description says "The left and right mounting plates are textured black powder coat." But VIP has the worst website ever haha. The brace is really solid though I love it.

If you're into subtle, go with the NM STB. Stronger bar/plates, too. Also comes in NM blue.

The NM is really nice Dwight, but Im sticking with the M7. I like the square look of theirs a little more.

If I raised it up anymore it would probably hit the bottom of the hood. It's really close now I wouldn't want to chance it.

Would any of these braces minus the m7 brace clear a RIS / SIS CAI?
