The main pipe is made from lightweight, high-grade aluminum with a 38mm outer diameter, providing excellent rigidity without adding unnecessary weight to your vehicle. The aluminum pipe is layered with a 1mm thick sheet of pure carbon fiber film, which not only enhances the aesthetic appeal with a premium racing look but also contributes to the overall structural strength of the brace.
The steel end plates are precisely machined and painted in a titanium gray finish, offering corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance. The brackets are designed for a snug, secure fit onto the upper strut mounts, ensuring that the brace remains firmly in place during aggressive driving. The bolt-on installation method uses factory mounting points, requiring no modifications, cutting, or drilling, which simplifies the upgrade process and preserves the integrity of your vehicle's chassis.
