I bought a Polished Tanabe strut bar. Here is a pic of it after installation. I really like the way that it sits under the hood. It's a tube shape and it sits up higher and farther back than the other ones that I have seen on the xBs. I got it off of eBay and it came with a Polished TRD Oil Cap(pictured also) and it cost me $57.00 plus shipping. I am very happy with it.

I have the TRD strut tower brace, but honestly, the strut towers are part of the firewall so I doubt they are anything but decoration.

Went and got me a JiC strut bar from Auto RnD. Just like Mybadbox, I had to have the Chrome up in the engine bay.

I just got my Cusco 40D strut bar last night. Damn thing came from Japan. Pissed me off it took so long though. Even the directions and torque specs are in Japanese. The nuts from my TeinSS's were an SOB to get off the back post too. Anyways I'll post pics soon as I can!!!!!!!!!

Mine took about 30-40 mins.. Beer was involved in the installation process. And my buddy had a cute neighbor who kept walking out side, which caused us to stop working and stare at her. So might have taken longer than that.
