I've been searching and have found this 3 point brace. Looks pretty good and the price is right. Any other options?

My "other" fun car is an `87 Vette, I would have to bolt a lot more than a strut brace on my `00GT to get the handeling that I`m used to with the Vette, so I`ll just have to live with the cowl flex in my `stang

Decided to get the 3 point Edelbrock installed while I have the car at the shop for a short throw shifter.
Thanks for the posts.

The brace is on. Looks very good. Guys who installed it were impressed with the construction. They also mentioned that this was the first '05+ convertible that they have worked on and that the vert has a wall in front of the firewall. They took off the molding and wipers to get between the two walls to bolt on. I have some pictures but I keep getting a failure message. I can e-mail them to anyone who is interested.
The difference in handling I have noticed right away is in the steering. There is a very bumpy road that I travel often and the bumps will actually move the steering wheel under my hand. With the tower brace on, the steering is dead on. I can still feel the bumps, but the front of the car is steady and solid on the road.
