Just like Skully said, I made one out of 1" conduit, beat the ends down with a big hammer, drilled holes, painted and mounted it. Works great! I noticed a definite improvement in stiffness. Also, for the front, I made two pieces and mounted one end to the strut tower and the other to the fire wall on both sides using the hood latch bolts. Had to do some minor bending of the braces so the hood would close.
