OMG stop quibbling like little kids over what's technically a triangle...

Stock braces already help stiffen up the front, the rest flexes as a result of crumple zones. If you like a stiffer chassis, be prepared to have crash force transferred to you instead of being absorbed by the crumple zone. There's a reason people can walk away from a rather serious collision. Unfortunately,safety is something most people don't think about when modding cars. There's other ways to stiffen up the chassis w/o touching the crumple zones of your car. Strut/shock ties, underside braces, etc.

This car needs bracing in the rear first. Front is pretty good

You may refer to me as Pythagoras from now on my child.

Looks pretty well boxed to me. I think a fender brace would be redundant on these cars.

Yes, that is nicely triangulated (if we are still allowed to use that word in this thread).

$250 for something else on the car now

It's boxed in on three sides.

Sorry for necroposting, is it possible to fit a fender brace without removing the fender?
