WTB: Fender braces

I know a couple different sets have been made, so if anyone is selling a one, let me know!

well I'll have to check steel prices and you all would have to figure out how you would want them to mount on the front for mine I welded a plate near the strut tower then Im making them mount to that but I could just drill holes for bolts or whatever else you guys would desire just need an Idea of what you were thinking, Probably after labor materials and what not about 200 dollars

Here was a previous design someone made for a 4th gen:





If you could make something similar to this for around $200, I would be all over it in a second. If there would be an option to not only bolt it to the frame, but weld it on as well, that would be awesome!

so excuse my ignorance, but what are these for? Does it stiffen something up for better handling for AutoX or just better if you were to get in an accident?

I have no idea how it would affect things in an accident, I'm just looking to stiffen up the weak front end of our cars for better handling and possibly better ride quality.

I actually havent made a set for my own car yet, Im in the process of the build for my car I have a thread for it, if there is a design set up I'll make a set take pictures and sell to who ever wants them, I used a heavier wall steel for those vs that thin wall square tubing in the one pictures so I didnt see a need for all those braces going every which way but I can do either one is just more time consuming and if it shows better results I'd be up for it price would just be a little higher
