I finally installed my Phat brace this morning. I took some pictures of a factory brace, a Cusco brace and Phat's brace for comparison. I thought of drilling some holes for the three plastic tube clamps, but realized they require square holes. The Cusco brace has holes drilled but they're round, and too large to hold the plastic clips, so not very helpful. I snugged up my three tubes with a piece of split rubber hose and a zip tie.
And if you see that Phat's brace is particularly shiny in my pictures, that's because I couldn't resist hitting it just once with a buffer wheel. 🙂

I make Amateur Armrests - see the Commercial Forum. I also have SMT repair seals available.
If you drill the biggest round hole then use a square file it really don't take that long plus you can round off the plastic plug . I like the shine !!
I'm finally ready to go .... here's the list I have , If your on it and don't want to be just let me know . I'll be sending PM's with payment details . Post #2 on SC was updated with info and pics .
Finally got it installed a couple weeks ago, with the help of Eric (heeltoehero)... on jackstands in his driveway... in the rain.
Immediate impression of this brace is that it dramatically reduces the flexibility of the chassis, and also has reduced some of the rattling noises in the cabin.
After thoughts are, I'll never work under this car again unless it's up here:
