Are you referring to the trunk brace or the rear strut tower brace? I have the rear STB, and probably the one black anodized one around :


And the PLP forums have the only pic of the trunk brace that I've ever seen: http://www.prolexperformance.com/pro...topic.php?t=33

I don't autocross my car, nor do I drive it very hard around corners. So for me, the gain from the rear strut bar is barely noticeable. My car is also not lowered with an upgraded suspension, so that's probably where I'm missing some of the impact a rear STB would provide as well.

I just had the opportunity to get a rare black anodized version, so I took advantage of it. However, after adding my my front/rear strut bars and sway bars, the car feels more neutral, no oversteer or understeer. It feels more like the center of rotation while turning is around the driver, but I suspect that comes more from the sways than the STBs.
