Everything is accessible and when the trim pieces are back in place, our strut tower brace is neatly tucked in for an OEM appearance.

Excellent! Now there's an item with obvious advantages - mechanical benefits that I can sink my teeth into.

I agree with bsd. The price is $280 right now in the Priuschat store. Tom's brace is only $250 from Carson. Perhaps a consideration in adjusting the price might be good.

Brian, I went to the store to buy the brace and the plate and the *%@#&+#!! site wouldn't take my password and e-mail and wouldn't let me log in as a new buyer either!

Can you P.M. me a phone number so I can order?
