    Ah, didn't even know you were over on this forum bro otherwise I would have responded here instead of on the OC. Anyway, yea, check out the DC Sports brace, it's what I have and it's great. Search around for pix, you'll find some. It's a nice bar and like I said on the OC only problem would be fitting if you have an intake manifold spacer, otherwise no probs! I got mine from BMC, they're a vendor here so check them out. They had some big sale a while back so not sure they have them in stock still but check. Also, HHP had them, again a vendor here. Good luck bro!!

    What, Milan wants to sell his?!?! WTF is wrong with that monkeyboy?!?! Why would he want to do that?!?!?!

    I think Lisa said they sold out what they had but someone else was gonna start building them again so they should get more ... I think.

    Lol, getting snipped, good one stevo!! Yea, I saw that other brace and I don't like it, it's not nearly as pretty as the DC one. It does allow an intake manifold spacer with no probs though. I keep forgetting you guys have Chargers and have a different underhood mat than we do on maggies and 300s. Losers, hahahhahahhaaaaaaaaa!! J/K! Hey, why don't you just drive up there to Mounty Land and put that brace on for that monkey boy yourself ... after you d#ck slap him a few hundred times first, lol!!

    Niiiiiiiiiiiiice, looks like you did the same thing I did ... painted it to match and put an SRT-8 badge on. Sweet!! This really is the best looking bar out there, no doubt about it, plus it looks right at home in our engine bay! :thumb3:

    I like this one:

    [​IMG]

    This braces features the benefit of super tough 4130N Chrome-moly alloy steel. This makes them more than twice as strong without adding any additional weight. If you're looking for true race car performance and the best strength-to-weight ratio this is the part for you!

    Benefits:

    * Made from 4130 Chrome Moly Steel

    * Each piece is percision welded

    * Closed triangle shape for strength and ultimate handling

    * Improved Steering response

    * No need to cut the underhood liner

    * Fits 5.7L with intake cover

    NOTE: These braces are NOT chrome plated. They are powdercoated black. Other colors available call for details

    Fits: Charger, 300, Magnum, Challenger

    Hey, so where does this bar bolt up to the car?? You can't see in the pics. The DC bar bolts straight to the strut tower using the existing strut bolts but this obviously doesn't, where does it bolt up and how hard was it to install? Just curious.
