Installed my front strut tower brace

[AL]

First I had to grind down a stud that was in my way... I put duct tape down to protect the paint.

 

Then I traced the holes of the brace to figure out where to drill my holes

 

Made some starter holes so the drill bit wouldnt slip all over

 

Holes Made 5/16th is the bit I used

 

Cant really see it but we siliconed the studs to prevent rust

 

Installed!

Looks really good!

 

Notice anything better about the handling?

[AL]

Oh definitely!

This could be made into a write up I would think... Installing a second gen STB

[ruktosk]

That looks amazing. Where did you get that bar?

[AL]

Its a factory STB from an Impala or Regal, I got a set of front and rear from AWeb80 that used to be on his brothers car

[intern8tion9l]

Nice job. I still have mine sitting in my room that I bought 3 years ago with the intention of putting on

With this forum, I think it would be an apt project thread

Setting it in my engine bay saying this is what it would look like if i actually installed it would deserve its own thread it seems

Those bars new are like 2 for $20 or some crazy cheap ass price on a gm parts website, maybe gmpd?

[AL]

[Night Fury]

Yep, that's if I remember correctly. Got them for the 05

[AL]

Damn, I paid like 40 shipped from a forum member

[Night Fury]

For one? Yeah I definitely got 2 new ones for less than than that, I'm trying to find where right now

[Night Fury]

Yep, found it. Two brand new bars for $22 bucks.

 

Go to GMPD.com, search part number 12498648. That is for two.
