As my car is (sadly) a daily driver, my high-tech tubular stuff looks like ***. Black tubing looks better covered in *** than red so black is what I have. It performs just the same regardless of color or level of *** on it.

I used to have one of the Granatelli Motor Sports bars, which was very similar to the BMR brace you posted the picture of. I took it off after a few months, however, as I dragged it on a couple of speed bumps in the parking lot where I was working at the time, and didn't feel the compromised ground clearance was worth the hassle.

Secondly, the "brackets" that these braces bolt to, don't look all that sturdy anyway. However, if you're also installing a 3 point subframe connerctor set-up, that's another story.

This is a pretty good point..I actually ripped my Tunnel Brace mounted Torque Arm off of the car loading it onto the Trailer..ripped them pieces steel right off of the body.

This was my re-enforcement..
