Dress up that engine bay! Maybe I'll put it on tomorrow, right now I don't think I could drive down the alley to get into the garage, haha.

Awwwww....I want one of them.....it looks purty. Where did you get it from....the usual braces for the Speed6 look nasty... <_<

YUCK!!!

No fair. Looks really yummy...
The AutoExe strut looks ok though.

Polished brace for mazda6 and speed6 $149.00

Picture Speed6 brace

Ok, OK I'm alittle slow. But the polished units don't look bad.

I have heard that the CF braces flex and don't really do what they are ment to do. I have a friend that has one on his GTI and he says that it flexes. Just my .02 Let me know how it works out

Well, as pretty as CF is, it's actually an solid aluminum brace with a CF wrap. The CF is just for looks. It's just a beefier brace with a brake MC support.

Hopefully, I'll be able to install that this week. I'm hoping for a nice afternoon, temp wise, to take care of it.

That shouldn't be too bad of a bar. But because it's a 3 piece like that, the bar can tend to flex about those bolts that attach the bar to the end plates. The bar on my Protege is a 3 piece, but it's slightly different. I had a bar similar to this one on my Saturn and didn't have any issues with it.

Yeah, I heard that anything more than a one piece can promote a small amount of flex...but I wonder if it's more for show than go...I mean, the Rx8 handles sooooo well as it is...

Just wish they made that strut for the Speed6...looks real nice...

It's pretty much a show piece, I'll admit that much (that's why the title says my new pretty part, rather than my new extremely functional part). The only addition this adds over the stock piece is the master cylinder support. But it sure is pretty! Ha!
