Show me your strut tower braces

I'm thinking about buying one, I had one on my v6 but it doesn't fit anymore, the v8 is too tall. It was off of an 06 cobalt my brother had, and it just so happened to fit.

Show me pictures of what you have. I'm not looking for anything fancy or expensive, just simply and functional. I don't necessarly need anything that bolts to the firewall.

Post pictures and show me what you got. Anyone got any hanging around they aren't using?

Then you obviously don't want something that works...
Bars that only tie the strut towers together are pretty much useless.

ANY STB that fits a Fox Mustang with a 5.0 will fit your car.

The Maximum Motorsports one is the one I would buy if I was looking for another.

Took a tiny bit of tweaking due to the PRC strut plates, but otherwise went right in.
