I have Tom's - quality is impeccable. UGO is carbon fiber which is cool (and lighter), but more expensive I think.

There's a thread somewhere here I posted a while back of install pictures of the strut bar.

Both STBs are great. There are others like Cusco, Carbing etc...I picked the UGO because I have an unnatural fetish for carbon fiber...

BOO!

Scared ya again?

If ya don't like red, I guess you could paint it. That's the color it comes in though. It's a slightly (deliberatley) rough textured high quality paint I'd guess.

What is the advantage of the rear brace. Does it make the car corner better at high speeds?

I think the advantage of the STB is that the wheels will stay straighter on the road thus give more grip while cornering.
I could be wrong though.........
