Default Brace above engine
I was wondering if it will hurt the car to drive with the brace above the engine off? I'm sanding/painting it and wanted to drive the car...

Strut Tower Brace, and no it won't hurt the car, but you may feel a difference in turns with handling, it's there to prevent some body roll. It'll be fine.

No, you will be fine. And you prob wont even feel a difference unless you try taking hard corners.
