Took it all out day after i got the car 110 pounds gone for free with spare and jack gone.

 

LOL, gas tank brace does not "tie the car together" structurally. It is mounted to two bolts top, and two bolts bottom, none of them being any part of the suspension or major body parts. It does not connect to the rear shock towers.

The skid plate, you're better off buying the holden skid plate and not running the risk, there is very little to no body protection under this car and I have seen a stock skid plate that was dented so hard it hit the oil pan....at least have some type of protection there IMO.

Tow brace is absolutely worthless, pull it.

 

how much weight reduction is the tow brace?
