Default Strut brace options

I've seen the Toms strut brace and the outrageously priced TRD one. Are there any current options out there? I love the look of the one on the SEMA built blue greddy RCF. anyone know any info on it? tried to google it but couldn't come up with anything. sure looks pretty/beefy

That one was a one off. Only one I know of...sorta is the JoeZ. He posted about it a while back on instagram, but haven't heard anything else. I've thought about getting mine powder coated F blue If nobody comes out with one.

The Toms one doesn't fit our LHD cars. Unless they make one specifically for LHD. I tried.

Any idea what modification is necessary or what the difference is between the JDM cars and the USDM cars. I realize the steering column and battery placement are different. Is the firewall contours different so that it doesn't attach properly or is it something else?
