Had the front braces powder coated Red Baron red, it doesn't really come across in cell phone pics but it is really such a better finish then paint. Also that 3" front pipe I made was sent out to digitized and then CNC bent in one solid piece, definitely a new process for me but I'm pretty excited to see how it turns out.

That rear brace is badass, and looks like it does way more for stiffness than any of the other rear chasis braces I have seen. Patent that shit quick like, then make a bunch of em.

This thread makes me feel a little inadequate as a man
 . Seriously top notch work. Powder coat the rear brace black and i'd be down for one. Also, have you thought about doing a plain and simple rear suspension brace like the one below?

Since there is lots of talk on this board about merge collectors here is a shot of mine, one solid piece of CNC'd 304 stainless.

I may through something together but I'm just not convinced its worth it. The lateral force does not get transmitted through the shocks so if any improvement from a bar like that is just reinforcing the unibody more then anything.
