I got it mostly for cosmetics too, and any added performance benefits would be a plus. Just sharing personal experience after several hundred miles of drive time vs stock bars.

Looks perfect! How much did you torque those bolts when you installed the strut brace?

It really looks bad ass, I love it. How hard was it to install the brace? How much did you torque the bolts?

It's super easy to install. Torque specs:

All 8 nuts, including the 2xM8 bolts of the bottom left/right side (next to the grill) of the CSL strut brace are @ 28Nm

The center bolt (M10) is at 56Nm + 90 deg.

Sorry for missing this, Stephen beat me to it. Extremely easy install especially with a proper torque wrench.

My view was if one popped up for the right price, I'd go for it. Just so happened that did occur and the guy lived 15 minutes away from me so I went for it, and continue to be glad I did!
