GT Spec Fender Braces, WOW!
Installation:

The installation on these braces were pretty straight forward. Anyone who has ever removed fenders off of their Z will know that you will also be required to remove to factory rocker panels off. The only tedious part that we found was that you're required to drill but it is very, very minor. The drilling is for the two front holes of the fender brace. Other than that, it is simply R&I bolts. Simple hand tools will be all you need.
Impressions:
My initial impression's weren't very good. I had high expectations so maybe that is why I was initially disappointed. After I hopped on the freeway, that's where these braces shined. Even changing lanes on the freeway takes a little less effort now. The front end of the chassis seems a lot more responsive during high-speed cornering and you can feel the stiffness of the front end. These braces will help handling and cornering and make it a lot more predictable in how the car handles. I would say that these fender braces are a great compliment to the rest of the suspension pieces that are on my car. As always, GT Spec brings you a great, high quality product at a very competitive price in today's market place. I would highly recommend these to those that enjoy spirited driving and is a MUST to those who attend any motorsport type events with their Z's. At the price point these braces are at, it's a no-brainer to get these on your Z!

Have a set coming in today. Too bad I'm in Kuwait. 
However when I'm home in April I'll be rockin the fenderless Z, cruising for girls that get wet for fender braces! Ok, not really since I'm married and that just plain gay. But am excited to get all my GTSpec braces mounted.
Free bump.
