Oh it looks like you only have it connected to one bolt.

One bolt = pivot points = not effective

Drill a hole into the strut tower and drop a nut & bolt in there and you'll be good to go.

Better than nothing but it would perform better if it used all three bolts or altleast two.

does the hood smack the brace when you shut it? it looks like it would to me.

good deal on the freebie, but like others have said, im really doubting its being effective being its only held on by one bolt on both strut towers.

My first strut brace was a lot like that, but I made it. Used two half circle steel plates so it would fasten to two bolts, put the plates on the car, and welded a piece of square stock to the ends. Took it off and painted it black, but later I replaced it with a Vibrant front bar after getting the front rear combo. Homemade bar is waaay stiffer that the Vibrant.

yeah useless... sorry dooder, the point of a strut brace is to keep the strut towers from moving/twsiting
