I had a 79’ scirocco I put a ton of money into back when they made all kinds of fancy mod stuff for them, the strut brace made a night and day difference in rigidity and handling, certainly before the days of computer modeling and finite analysis.
Thanks for sharing your assessment.

I needed something other than the Anodized lid to tie the Red, Black, and carbon fiber pieces all together in the engine bay. Thought it looked great and like you said maybe a small performance benefit.

I looked on BMR’s site and it either crashed or something, but can’t get it to function properly, anyone know what that brace costs ?

I have the BMR brace. Looks very cool, especially with the NX lid. At least the lid brings the supercharger whine to life. The brace is pure bling. Makes zero difference. All for show.

IMHO, A strut tower brace is for looks only...I have driven mine hard, with and without the bar and I really can't tell a difference!

Two questions please, where did you get the strut tower caps and where did you get the Fuse Box CF cover?

Thanks.
