That's what I thought. They just copied it and painted them red.

The chassis brace kit is not a repainted Tom's kit or knock off. It was designed in house at AP to optimize the vehicle chassis, and structural points on the chassis. Hanakuso as I recall you saying awhile back in a previous thread, you stated that the TOMS KIT's "bracing on the bottom look similar to others." There isnt much design differences allowed in such kits, which looking at chassis diagrams it is very clear whey. The AP kit is competitively priced, and also immediately available here in the US. Cheers!

True about under bracing but correct me if i'm wrong, the rear trunk/strut brace looks like an exact copy of the Tom's.

Actually I think the old saying is "There's more than one way to skin a cat"....
It seems these two companies have found the EXACT same way though... Hmm.

What is weight of all parts?
Do you have any proof that these actually works?
Thanks.
