Fender braces installed!

Since most people don't ever visit the Members Rides section, I figured I would post up a link to my build thread. I just got some fender braces installed this weekend and figured some people in here might want to check them out. Let me know what you think, just try and keep the comments in that thread. The fender braces should be towards the bottom of the first page. I've only put a few miles on them but so far they feel great!

Sorry, I haven't been able to drive the car a whole lot since they were put on. The front end feels a lot more stable when going over imperfections, that's for sure. I thought I felt a little less body roll going around one turn, but I need more seat time to be sure. I'm racing this weekend, so hopefully that will tell me all that I need to know. Unfortunately, it looks like it's going to rain this weekend

I paid for them a while ago, but I think the price was around $200.

Thanks Ben! I got to race on these over the weekend and the car feels incredible! The front end feels very planted and stable, and steering response feels great as well. The braces went on without a hitch, and they are very beefy. Thanks for the great work, I'm so happy you made these for me!
